n.(名词)

1. mountain是可数名词,意思是“山,高山”,通常指较陡峭的高山; mountain的复数形式可表示“山脉”或“山区”。
2. 用于专有名词时,山名须置于mountains之前,且须加定冠词。
3. mountain可用在另一个名词作前定语。

n.(名词)

mountain, hill, mount

这组词都含有“山”的意思。其区别是：

1.mountain是普通用词,通常指较陡峭的高山; hill指较低矮的小山或丘陵。例如:

The mountains were hidden in mist.群山笼罩在雾中。

The house stands on a hill.这幢房子坐落在小山上。

2.用于专有名词时,Hill和mountain都位于山名之后,而Mount位于山名之前。例如:

n.(名词)
