参考词汇
<a href="bword://about">about</a>;<a href="bword://around">around</a>;<a href="bword://round">round</a>;
作副词时都含“四处”、“遍地”的意思。
about 系常用词, 如:
- look about 四处看。
around 具有 about 的基本意思, 因此 look about=look around, 但在下列短语里 around没有 about正式, 如:
- travel around 各处旅行。
round 和 around在非正式用法中可以互换, 但一般用 round时更简练。在正式用语中, 一般用 round指“旋转”, 而用 around指“处处”, “到处”, 如:
- She turned round at such a noise. 听到这样的吵声, 她回头看。
- I have been looking for it all around. 我到处都找过了。
另外, 英国人用 round的地方, 美国人倾向于用 around,如:
- [英] Winter comes round.
- [美] Winter comes around.

参考词汇
<a href="bword://about">about</a>;<a href="bword://around">around</a>;<a href="bword://round">round</a>;
作副词时都含“四处”、“遍地”的意思。
about 系常用词, 如:
- look about 四处看。
around 具有 about 的基本意思, 因此 look about=look around, 但在下列短语里 around没有 about正式, 如:
- travel around 各处旅行。
round 和 around在非正式用法中可以互换, 但一般用 round时更简练。在正式用语中, 一般用 round指“旋转”, 而用 around指“处处”, “到处”, 如:
- She turned round at such a noise. 听到这样的吵声, 她回头看。
- I have been looking for it all around. 我到处都找过了。
另外, 英国人用 round的地方, 美国人倾向于用 around,如:
- [英] Winter comes round.
- [美] Winter comes around.
