最近找到一個很好的網(wǎng)站，對于區(qū)分一些傻傻分不清的單詞很有幫助：

提到沙發(fā)，腦子自然而然冒出來的單詞就是sofa，畢竟這個外來詞就是照著sofa翻譯的。但是也經(jīng)常聽到一些人用couch這個詞，那么它們有什么區(qū)別呢？參見askdefine的解釋：
A couch is an upholstered item of furniture for the comfortable seating of <b>more than one person</b> and typically has an armrest on either side. Couches are usually to be found in the living room, den or the lounge. They are covered in a variety of textiles or in leather.
The most common types of couches are <b>the loveseat (or British two-seater), the settee (2.5 seats), and the sofa (3 seats)</b>. A sectional sofa (often just referred to as a "sectional") is formed from multiple sections (typically 2 to 4) and usually includes at least two pieces that join at an angle of 90 degrees or slightly great

重點看加粗部分，總結(jié)一下：

• loveseat (英國叫two-seater)：兩人沙發(fā)

• settee：2.5座沙發(fā)

• sofa：三人沙發(fā)

看清楚，三人座的沙發(fā)才叫sofa哦！那么是不是說，couch才是沙發(fā)的統(tǒng)稱？非也，上面粗體字說了，要可以坐1人以上才叫couch，也就是至少是兩人沙發(fā)。一個人坐的沙發(fā)叫做armchair，就是下面這種：
