bˈʌɹəz
BURR-uhz

释义

Boroughs are areas within a city or town that have their own local government or administrative functions. In some places, like New York City or London, 'borough' refers to well-defined districts within the larger city.

用法与细微差别

"Borough" is mostly formal and regional, often used in official, legal, or city planning contexts. In the US, especially New York City, it refers to one of the five main divisions (e.g., Brooklyn, Queens). In the UK, a borough is a specific type of administrative district. Do not confuse with 'neighborhood' or 'suburb'—boroughs are usually larger and formal units.
