知道了英语中“T形台”的说法，并不意味着就能够很好地运用该词，我们还必须了解它在句子中的用法、通常与哪些词汇搭配等等，这就需要我们通过例句进一不学习提高。请看下面的catwalk用法举例：

1. Ever wondered how a design gets from the sketchbook to the catwalk?

2. Suzie Ward walked onto the catwalk and won the Young Model of the Year Competition.

3. Full of confidence, the lanky all blond models sway on the catwalk with measured steps one foot straight after the other.

4. The background music stopped and was replaced by an expectant hum, then that too ceased as the curtains parted and a man in a dinner jacket and black bow tie stepped out onto the catwalk. 来源：考试大

5. Paraded down the catwalk by a dancer named Micheline Bernardi this new swimsuit designed by Louis Réard took the world's breath away.

6. She is slim with blonde hair and looks like a catwalk model.

7. People who don't know anything about it might assume that it simply involves standing in front of a camera or walking down a catwalk.

另外还需强调，catwalk和runway除了可以互换使用外，还通常放在一起使用，例如：

Experience: Catwalk/Runway Fashion Parades; Photographic (ad campaigns, fashion, photographic showcases/displays, portfolios); ...来源：考试大

I am available for work in Print, Sport, Glamour, Catwalk/Runway, Art, Promotional, Stage, TV/Film,...

最后需要指出，汉语中的“T型台”在泛指时装表演舞台的时候，其意义与 Catwalk/Runway 相同，而如果要特别强调舞台为T字型时，则可以说 "T" stage 或"T" shaped runway。请看下面的例子：

Large "T" shaped runway

36' runway w/ 32' "T" stage 来源：考试大

"T" shape runway with black and white walls and black stripe

"T" shape runway with 8' and 12' high walls

"T" shape runway with 8' high backdrop walls 来源：考试大

The club is on the smaller side but nice and cozy. The stage is in the popular "T" shape with catwalk.

结论：翻译时不能够想当然，必须要有“回译”意识。有些从英文翻译过来的中文是意译而不是直译的，那么在将其回译成英文时，就不能按照中文的字面意思去进行直译，而必须还原成英语原来的说法。
