Flex and lead are both used only in British English and usually you can use either. However, flex is used more to talk about a shorter cord on a smaller piece of equipment such as a kettle, iron or lamp. Lead is used more to talk about a longer cord, especially an extension lead that can be used on various different pieces of equipment. * cord虽然也用于英式英语,但尤用于美式英语,尤指电话线。flex和lead两词仅用于英式英语,通常可通用。但是flex较多指连接小型装置如水壶、熨斗或台灯等较短的导线。lead较多指较长的电线,尤用于可连接很多种不同装置的extension lead。
