In Responsive Web Design, Ethan Marcott confuses margins with padding?

Question

css

Here is the screenshot.ru/fbef658799387126068bc3be5e17803c they talk about the field and write padding. Although it is known that fields are margins and indents are paddings. Maybe I don't understand? And it's not just this place. Confused ... Maybe the translation is not accurate? Who read tell me.

Answer 1

Although it is known that fields are margins and indents are paddings.

Just the opposite.

Answer 2

Read in English and do not confuse.
In Russian, both words can be interpreted as an indent.
Only margin padding outside, padding padding inside.

Answer 3

Apparently, you were misled by the formal translation, indeed, Google Translate translates "margin" as "field".
Everything else is as described above.
