A term can be a word or phrase used with a specific meaning, a fixed period of time, or one of the parts of a school or university year. The exact meaning depends strongly on context.
用法与细微差别
Very context-dependent. Common patterns: 'technical term', 'long-term/short-term', 'prison term', and 'school term'. In formal writing, 'in terms of' means 'regarding' or 'from the perspective of'. Do not confuse it with 'word': a 'term' is often more specialized.
