用法与细微差别
'Nightfall' is a literary or somewhat formal word, used more in stories or descriptions than daily speech. It refers to the moment darkness starts, not midnight. Common collocations: 'by nightfall', 'at nightfall'. Do not confuse with 'sunset' (when the sun goes below the horizon) or 'dusk' (the fading light after sunset).
