town的基本意思是“镇,集〔市〕镇”,一般指大于乡村(village)、小于城市(city)的“城镇”,是可数名词。

town也可指居住于一城镇的“全体居民”,此时为集合名词,常与定冠词the连用,只用于单数形式。当其作主语时,句子中的谓语动词可用单数形式,也可用复数形式。

town也可作“市区,商业区,闹市”“(一个地区的)主要城市”解,此时是不可数名词,一般不与冠词连用。其前常加down, in, into, to等词,表示“往〔在,到〕城里”。in town在英式英语里常指“在伦敦”。

the town有时还可指“都市生活”。

n.(名词)

town, city

这两个词的共同意思是“城市”或“城镇”。其区别在于:

1.city一般指规模较大或较重要的城市; town则一般指比city规模较小的城镇。例如:

The big city bewildered the old woman from the countryside.大城市把乡下来的老奶奶弄糊涂了。

The old couple will attempt to leave the town as soon as possible.这对老夫妇想要尽快离开这个小城。

2.city在美国比在英国更常用,大小相当于英国的town的市镇在美国都可以叫做 city ; 而town则在英国比在美国更常用,一个在美国可以称之为city的都市,在英国仍可叫做town。

3.town有时也可指城市的商业中心区,还可用以指整个城镇居民。例如:

The whole town knew of it.全城(居民)都知道这件事。
