area of a town · noun · B1
One of the areas that a town or city is made up of, especially a part where people live, with its own streets, houses, and feeling.
社區；街區
Think of it as the patch of a town where the people living close to each other form one recognisable place: the same few streets, the same shops on the corner, faces you start to know. It is not drawn on a map by an official — it is the area near you, held together by nearness.
可以想成一個城市裡「離你很近的那一塊」：同樣幾條街、轉角同一家店、走著走著會遇到眼熟的臉。它的邊界不是政府畫出來的，而是由「住得近」這件事撐起來的一塊地方；也因為是靠「近」定義，這個詞後來能一路延伸到「附近」，甚至延伸到數字的「差不多在那附近」。
