tread /trɛd/ - ходити
damaged or loose floor plating /ˈdæmɪdʒd ɔː luːs flɔː ˈpleɪtɪŋ/ - пошкоджені або нещільно підігнані плити покриття підлоги
slipperiness underfoot /ˈslɪpərɪnɪs ˌʌndəˈfʊt/ - ковзка підлога
keep footing /kiːp ˈfʊtɪŋ/ - триматися ногах
7. Deck plates – In a distracting place, perhaps with some degree of slipperiness underfoot, and especially if a vessel is moving, then keeping footing can be a challenge.
