欢迎使用 AQA 七年级地理词汇速记指南。掌握关键术语是像地理学家一样思考的第一步，因为每个过程、每种特征、每个地点都有名称。本指南挑选最重要的词汇，按主题分好类，每个词都给出了简单定义和一个记忆窍门——这样你就能快速学习，并在考试和实地考察时牢牢记住它们。

1. Map Skills Terms | 地图技能术语

Compass direction: The direction shown by a compass, measured in degrees clockwise from north (0°). North is 0° or 360°, east is 90°, south is 180°, west is 270°. A quick way to remember the four cardinal points is the phrase ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’ – the first letters spell North, East, South, West.

指南针方向：指南针显示的方向，以北为起点顺时针测量度数（0°）。北为 0° 或 360°，东为 90°，南为 180°，西为 270°。快速记住四个基本方位的口诀是 ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’，首字母分别代表北、东、南、西。

Scale: The link between a distance on a map and the real distance on the ground, shown as a ratio (like 1:25,000) or a line marked with kilometres. A scale of 1:25,000 means 1 cm on the map equals 25,000 cm (250 m) in reality. Think of it as the map’s ‘shrink factor’ – the bigger the second number, the more the area is shrunk.

比例尺：地图上的距离与实地距离之间的关系，用比率（如 1:25,000）或一条标有公里的线段表示。1:25,000 的比例尺意味着地图上 1 厘米等于实地 25,000 厘米（250 米）。可以把它想象成地图的’缩小倍数’——第二个数字越大，区域缩得越小。

Key (or legend): A small table or box on a map that explains what the symbols and colours stand for. Without a key, you might mistake a church for a pub! Always check the key before reading a map.

图例：地图上的一个小表格或方框，解释各种符号和颜色的含义。没有图例，你可能会把教堂错当成酒吧！读地图前一定要先看图例。

2. Grid References and Locating Places | 网格坐标与位置查找

4-figure grid reference: A four-digit number used to find a whole grid square on an Ordnance Survey map. It works by giving the easting (the numbers along the bottom) first, then the northing (numbers up the side). Remember the rule ‘along the corridor and up the stairs’ – you go east before you go north.

四位数网格坐标：用于在英国地形测量地图上定位整个网格方格的四
