Les langues anglaise et française ne découpent pas la réalité de la même façon : l'anglais met l'accent sur la forme (surface dure) et le français sur la fin («de stationnement»). Pour être très précis on pourrait être tenté d'utiliser une expression plus complète, comme «aire de stationnement à chaussée rigide» et d'ajouter, même, «pour avions». Selon nous, cependant, «aire de stationnement» tout court suffit, étant donné que les aires de stationnement, en raison de contraintes techniques, sont à revêtement dur et que le contexte suffit pour situer le lecteur quant au type de véhicule en cause. Signalons, enfin, que les expressions «aire en dur», «aire en béton», «aire bétonnée» et «surface en dur» nous apparaissent comme des calques de l'anglais. 8, record 1, French, - aire%20de%20stationnement
