yard, garden

• 这两个名词的共同意思是“园,院子”。其区别在于:garden指“花园”等植物的园,用复数时,也可表示“公园”; yard指房子前后的“院子”,房子与房子之间的“天井”“庭院”,也指家畜、家禽的围栏,圈栏等。例如:
• The garden needs cleaning up.这花园需要打扫整理。

n. (名词)

1. 在英国买布用码量,不用米。

   误 We buy cloth by a yard in England, not by the metre.

   误 We buy cloth by yards in England, not by the metre.
