释义

'Couples' is the plural of 'couple'. It usually means two people in a romantic relationship, but it can also mean a small number of people or things, usually about two.

用法与细微差别

Most commonly, 'couples' means romantic pairs: 'married couples', 'young couples'. In informal speech, 'a couple of' means 'a few' and not always exactly two. Don't confuse plural 'couples' with the verb 'couples with' meaning 'combines with' in formal writing.
