而country作為名詞通常是國家的意思,但在某些場景中也有農村的意思,要根據上下文來判斷;country還可作為形容詞使用,指國家的,農村的。
例句:I like my country.我愛我的國家
in the western countries在西方各國
Which do you prefer to live in a city or in the country ?妳歡喜住在城裏還是住在鄉下?(這裏根據場景判斷country指的是鄉下)
I like listening country music.我喜歡聽鄉村音樂(country作為形容詞使用)
I'm from countryside.我來自農村
具體來說,countryside 常用來泛指壹切鄉村地域或居民。例如:
the countryside is the most beautiful at this time.此時農村景色最美。
i bought many pictures of the chinese countryside.我買了許多有關中國農村的圖片。
country 作“鄉村”講時,側重指區別於城市的鄉間、鄉下。例如:
they are leaving the country and moving into the town.他們離開鄉下搬到城裏去了。
i am going to spend this summer vacation with my grandmother in the country. 我準備今天和祖母在鄉下過暑假。
壹般說來,表示“國家”的country可與不定冠詞連用;而表示“鄉村”之義的country則總是同定冠詞壹同出現。
最後看壹下這兩個詞的英文解釋:
A "countryside" refers to rural areas that are open. Forest, wetlands, and other areas with a low population density are not a countryside.
The "country" areas are rural areas - farms and small villages.
