sluice gate
Danh từ
Số nhiều: sluice gates
This term refers specifically to the mechanical infrastructure used in hydraulic engineering. It carries a technical, industrial connotation and is rarely used in casual conversation unless discussing irrigation, dam management, or flood control.
While the word "sluice" can function as a verb meaning to wash with a flow of water, the compound noun "sluice gate" is strictly a physical object. It is distinct from a simple valve or a lock, as it typically involves a sliding barrier that moves vertically to regulate water volume and pressure.
