circumference n.圆周；周围；周长 (1) 那一个点落在这圆的圆周线上。(2) 他每天早晨绕着水库周围慢跑。(3) 这棵树周长六英尺。(4) 地球的圆周长约为两万五千英里。 It’s no coincidence that the first part of circumference looks like circle.

If you want to buy a new hat, you’ll need to measure the circumference of your head, and patrolling the circumference of your castle is a good way to protect against dragons.
