"neighborhood" in Chinese (Traditional)

• 街區
• 社區

Definition

Neighborhood 指城鎮中人們居住的一個區域。它也可以指住在這個區域的人，以及這個地方整體的氛圍和特點。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

常和 'quiet neighborhood'、'safe neighborhood'、'residential neighborhood' 等搭配。在美式英語中，它很常用來表示居住片區；'district' 更正式，'community' 更強調人羣而不是地點。它也可出現在 'in the neighborhood of' 裡，表示「大約」，但那是另一個較正式的用法。
