town的基本意思是“鎮,集〔市〕鎮”,一般指大于鄉村(village)、小于城市(city)的“城鎮”,是可數名詞。

town也可指居住于一城鎮的“全體居民”,此時為集合名詞,常與定冠詞the連用,只用于單數形式。當其作主語時,句子中的謂語動詞可用單數形式,也可用復數形式。

town也可作“市區,商業區,鬧市”“(一個地區的)主要城市”解,此時是不可數名詞,一般不與冠詞連用。其前常加down, in, into, to等詞,表示“往〔在,到〕城里”。in town在英式英語里常指“在倫敦”。

the town有時還可指“都市生活”。

The old couple will attempt to leave the town as soon as possible.這對老夫婦想要盡快離開這個小城。

3.town有時也可指城市的商業中心區,還可用以指整個城鎮居民。例如:

The whole town knew of it.全城(居民)都知道這件事。
