| vocabulary简明 | Use the adverb around to describe something that's on every side of you. When you're on a boat far out at sea, with no land in sight, there's water all around you. |
| vocabulary扩展 | Around means "surrounding," and it can also mean "the opposite direction," as when you tell someone to turn around. You can also scatter things around, or put them here and there, or all over the place. When you need to estimate an amount, you can say, "We have around five dollars left." The word around wasn't used much before the 15th century, and today many of its uses are purely American — British speakers would say about instead. |
| 柯林斯解释 | Usage Note : Around is an adverb and a preposition. In British English, the word 'round' is often used instead. Around is often used with verbs of movement, such as 'walk' and 'drive', and also in phrasal verbs such as 'get around' and 'hand around'. around用作副词和介词。在英国英语中，常用round来替代。around常与表示动作的动词连用，如walk和drive，也常用在get around, hand around等短语动词中。 1 [PREP 介词]环绕；围绕；包围 To be positioned around a place or object means to surround it or be on all sides of it.

Usage Note : Around and round are used in various ways as prepositions and adverbs, often as part of phrasal verbs. In most cases, you can use either word without any difference of meaning. In American English, around is much more common than round or about. When you are talking about casual or random movement in no particular direction, you can use about as well as around and round. It's so romantic up there, flying around in a small plane... I spent a couple of hours driving round Richmond... Police constables walk about with guns on their hips. When you are talking about something being generally present or available, you can use around or about, but not round, as adverbs. There is a lot of talent around at the moment... There are not that many jobs about.Round has a lot of other meanings, as a noun, verb, and adjective. You cannot use around in these cases. around和round都可用作介词和副词，用法很多，常用于短语动词中。很多情况下，两者可以通用，意义相同。美国英语中，around比round和about常见得多。指无具体方向的随意移动时，除around和round外，也可用about：It's so romantic up there, flying around in a small plane（坐小型飞机在空中翱翔真浪漫），I spent a couple of hours driving round Richmond（我开车在里士满转悠了几小时），Police constables walk about with guns on their hips（警员们胯上别枪四处巡逻）。表示某物就在手头或能够获得，可用around或about作副词， 不可用round：There is a lot of talent around at the moment（目前有大量现成人才），There are not that many jobs about（眼下没有那么多工作机会）。round作名词、动词和形容词时有许多其他意思，参见round词条；在这些情况下不可用around。 17 [PREP-PHRASE 短语介词]大约 Around about means approximately.
