- 1偏鄉、窮鄉僻壤（遠離城鎮、還沒怎麼開發的地方）
The backwoods are places far from towns, with trees and not many people, shops, or good roads. The word pictures country that is rough and not built up — maybe no hospital nearby, maybe one dirt road. It is especially common in American English, in stories about woods, hunting, and small cabins. People also stretch it as an adjective: a backwoods town, backwoods ideas, meaning simple, far away, and a bit behind city life. Though actually, it can sound if you use it about real people who live there, as if they are slow or . It is not a sweet tourist word like “countryside.”
