around是什么意思(around和round区别)

round和around通常可以互换，区别如下：

1、在表示"圆形运转,回到原处", "环绕","周围"时,美语常用around，而英语常用round

例如：You can see the post office

round/around that corner. 绕过那个弯你就可以看到邮局。

2、round可以用作形容词、副词、介词、动词、名词；而around只能用作副词或介词。

例如：The

post office is just round (around) the house (用作介词).

He has round face (用作形容词).

The river rounded the stones. (用作动词)??

3、around

还可以表示"不止一处","在许多地方","在不同地方". 但在美国英语里,一般只用around

例如: The students are standing

around(学生们在到处站着)
