escalator是自动扶梯
lift elevtor是电梯（升降的）
lift 是英式的 elevtor 是美式的
escalator 专指电梯。
lift 在英式口语中也是电梯，但用在动词时很广，做拉皮也可以是lift。
请看一段趣味英文：
A porter in a British hotel comes upon an American tourist impatiently jabbing at the button for the lift。
"Sir, the lift will be here in a moment。"
"Lift? Lift?" replies the American。 "Oh, you mean the elevator。"
"No sir, here we call it a lift。
"Well, as it was invented in the United States, it’s called an elevator。"
"Yes sir, but as the language was invented here, it’s called a lift。
lift 与elevator是指同样的事物：电梯（升降机）。
lift是英国的用法。elevator是美国的用法。
