英语单词neighbourhood的用法讲解

英语单词neighbourhood是非常容易误解的一个单词，它有两个不同的拼写和读音，即：neighbourhood(美式)和neighborhood(英式),读音相近。但是它们表示的意思是完全相同的，都是指你所生活的社区或者地理位置，比如你家附近的商店、学校及其它的设施。

Neighbourhood(美式)一词通常出现在和社区、储物柜等有关的语句中，它可以用作名词或形容词。下面是一些表示neighbourhood的句子：

1.My neighbourhood is a pleasant place to live.

2.I want to buy a house in a nice neighbourhood.

3.The neighbourhood has changed since I moved here.

4.The neighbourhood association is organizing a festival.

5.He's been a neighbour for more than 20 years.

Neighborhood(英式)一般用于泛指某个地区，比如商业区，也可以用作名词或形容词。例如：

1.Our neighborhood is very safe.

2.Let's take a walk around the neighborhood.

3.She's been a good neighbor to me.

4.The houses in this neighborhood are quite expensive.

5.A new business is opening in the neighborhood.

因此，总之，neighbourhood和neighborhood都是指某个地理位置或者地区，无论用哪种拼法，它们的意思都是一样的，只有拼写方式上有些细微的差别。看到这个单词时，你可以根据你所使用的英语来选择正确的拼写，如果你不能很清楚地辨别，可以使用牛津英语字典以确保拼写准确。
