Deck / the deck 舞台面／台板
The stage floor. Crews say "clear the deck," "walk the deck" before a tech to check for trip hazards, and "deck crew" for whoever works at floor level during the show. A raked deck is a sloped one.
中文
舞台地板。「clear the deck」即淨空舞台面。台灣亦稱「台板」，香港常說「台面」。

In audio and video, a "deck" is a playback or recording transport — a tape deck, an ISO deck. "Roll the deck" and "clear the deck" are instructions to different people about different things.
