Kerb Meaning in English
word
释义
A kerb is the raised edge along the side of a road, usually made of stone or concrete, that separates the pavement or sidewalk from the road itself.
用法与细微差别
Used mainly in British English; the American spelling is 'curb'. 'Kerb' specifically refers to the stone/concrete barrier, not the whole pavement or sidewalk. Common in expressions like 'step off the kerb' or 'park at the kerb'.
