English Dictionary

triangle of life

名詞

A space next to a solid object, which (according to a disputed theory) a person should occupy in order to reduce the risk of injury inside a collapsing building, e.g. during earthquake. The crushing of the solid object is said to form a slope that protects the nearby space in the manner of a roof.

日本語の意味

倒壊する建物内で、固い物体の隣に生じる空間。地震等で建物が崩壊する際、固体が圧迫されることによって傾斜面が形成され、その斜面が屋根のように近くの空間を保護するとされる論争のある理論に基づいた安全空間。

During the earthquake drill, the instructor warned that the triangle of life—a supposed space beside a solid object that might remain protected when a building collapses—remains a disputed theory.

地震の訓練で指導者は、建物が倒壊した際に頑丈な物体の横にでき、その物体の崩落で屋根のような斜面を作って周囲を守ると主張される空間に関する理論は議論の余地があると警告した。
