chesterfield (CHEST er field) Although this noun is known to mean “a single or double-breasted overcoat, usually with concealed buttons and a velvet collar,” it is also a term for a large sofa with upholstered arms. This type of sofa was manufactured in Canada where it was commonly used at the turn of the twentieth century, but it was also popularly used in Northern California around the same time. Its name comes from the earl of Chesterfield.
- Since John Steinbeck’s house in Salinas has opened as a museum and con-tains much of its original furniture, there is likely to be a large chesterfield in the front parlor that was originally used for seating visitors.

chesterfield（切斯特菲尔德）虽然这个名词的意思是“单排扣或双排扣大衣，通常有隐藏的纽扣和天鹅绒衣领”，但它也是一个有软垫扶手的大沙发的术语。这种类型的沙发是在20世纪之交在加拿大制造的，在那里它很常用，但大约在同一时间，它也在北加利福尼亚州广泛使用。它的名字来源于切斯特菲尔德伯爵。
由于约翰·斯坦贝克（John Steinbeck）在萨利纳斯（Salinas）的房子已经作为博物馆开放，并保留了大部分原始家具，所以客厅里很可能有一个大的切斯特菲尔德（chesterfield），最初是用来安置游客的。
