The Socket and Plug ♦ 插座与插头 ♦ Die Steckdose und der Stecker

Electricity standards are different all over the world. Let me introduce the standard in Germany/Europe.
电力标准在不一样的地方有不一样的标准。让我跟大家介绍德国/欧洲的标准是怎样的。
Voltage: 230V Frequency: 50Hz
电压: 230伏特 频率: 50赫兹
Want to know how those Electrical terms called in German?
想要知道德语怎么叫这些电子名词？
Voltage 电压： Spannung
Current 电流： Strom
Resistance 电阻： Widerstand
Capacitor 电容器： Kondensator
Inductor 电感元件：Spule (means Coil)
Power 功率：Leistung


In German, everything has a gender. Either Masculine (der), Feminine (die) or Neuter (das) gender. The Socket and Plug have also gender. Socket is Feminine (die Steckdose) and Plug is Masculine (der Stecker). Do you know why? I'm sure you know...:P
德语语法里，任何东西都有“性别”。男的用Der，女的用Die，而中性用Das。插座和插头也不例外。插座是女的（die Steckdose）而插头是男的（der Stecker）。你知道为什么吗？我想你应该知道。。。:P


The best thing I like the Europe socket design is that they can plug in 2 ways~ the second way is used when you don't want the cable to go down so fast. For example a hot pan is under the socket.
我最喜欢欧洲插座的设计在于他们有两种方式来插~第二个方式是当你不要电线这么快往下。打个比方，有个热炉在插座的下面。

Information for the students:
给学生的资讯：

If you want to buy an adapter, please be careful on the design. Choose the left one, the right one is what i bought and cannot be used.
如果你要买adapter，要小心他的设计。选左边那个，右边那个是我买到却不能够用的。

Or you can also do it like this. Buy an extension and change the plug on your own~ the Plug cost about 2 euro only.
或者你可以这样做。买一个extension然后把插头换掉~这个插头2欧元而已。

Inside is something like this, red/brown one is Live line, blue one is Neutral/Null line and green one is earth line.
里面大概是这样，红/褐色的是火线，蓝色是中线而青色是地线。


If you have really really no idea how to change the plug, you can buy the traveler adapter. Cost me about 20 euro.
如果你真的真的不会的话，你可以买旅行用的adapter。花了我20欧元。

Of course the strange thing about German socket and i think it is disadvantage.
当然他们插座的设计也有奇怪的地方，也是我觉得不太好的地方。
1) They have no on/off switch on the socket. Maybe they think all the electronic stuffs should have their own switch, don't need to have an extra one on the socket~
他们在插座上没有开关键。可能他们觉得每个电器本身都已经有了自己的开关键，不需要多余的一个在插座上吧~
2) They don't have a fuse inside the plug. Maybe they want the thing spoil faster so that you can buy a new one and help the economy~ just kidding...:P
在插头里面没有保险丝。可能他们希望电器早点坏，可以快快买新的刺激经济~开玩笑而已，别当真。。。:P
