喜樂美語
  1. 1nA2/ˈkʌntrisaɪd/鄉村／鄉下

    Land outside towns and cities, with fields, hills, trees, or forests — often talked about for its beauty or quiet.

    示範例句 · Example

    Somerset is famous for its rolling hills and beautiful countryside.

    逐字Somerset 因它的連綿山丘和美麗鄉村而出名。

    「countryside」是「城鎮外面、有田野山丘樹林的地方」。核心畫面可以想成「城市外面的綠地與開闊風景」——常拿來談漂亮、安靜、新鮮空氣。跟 the country 很近：live in the country 很日常；講美景時更常說 beautiful countryside。跟 landscape（你看到的一大片景色）、scenery（美麗的自然景觀）不一樣：countryside 先指那個「地方」，不是單指「眼前的畫面」。不可數：通常不說 a countryside。

core核心畫面

Picture the view from a train once the buildings stop: fields, hedges, hills, a few trees. The word is that open land seen as scenery — which is why it so often turns up with words about beauty and quiet rather than with facts about farming.

可以想成：火車開出市區之後窗外的那片景色——田、樹籬、山丘、幾棵樹。這個字看的是「風景意義上的鄉間」，所以它旁邊常常出現 beautiful、peaceful 這類形容詞，而不是產業或人口的資料。用法上是不可數，而且幾乎都加 the：drive through the countryside、live in the countryside。
