room, apartment, dormitory, flat

• 2.apartment通常指单房,复数形式时指套房,也可指私人房或出租房,有无设备均可,多用在美式英语中。有时也可称作condominium或condo。例如:
• He told me it cost him 1000 dollars to furnish his apartment, and I believe it.他告诉我他花了1000美元为这套住宅配置家具,这话我信。

• This is the place where we can play tennis.这是我们打网球的地方。

• 1.room指“给…提供一个房间住”,仅供睡觉,不包括餐饮与娱乐。
• 2.house指“遮蔽以免受气候等侵袭”(提供有顶盖、有墙、像房屋般的遮蔽)。例如:
• Many villagers volunteered to house the flood victims.许多村民自愿为水灾难民提供住处。

• The motel lodges thirty people a night.汽车旅馆一夜可为30个人提供住宿。
• 6.harbour指“为…提供安身场所”,主要指通过不法的手段来“窝藏”,是一种违反法律的行为,常用作贬义词。例如:
• Harbouring criminals is an offence in law.窝藏罪犯是违法的。

room，place，space

• 这一组名词都有空间，地方的意思。
• room有两层含义，一为“房间”，是可数名词；二表示人或物体所占的“空间或场所”、处事的“余地”等意思，是不可数名词，可用little，much，no，plenty等词修饰。可构成make room for给......让出地方；take up room占地方；leave room for留出空间给......等短语。
• place指人们从事各种活动的“地方，场所，位置”，是可数名词，常用的短语有take one’s place就坐，入席；in place在适当的位置。
• space意为“空间”，是不可数名词，表示万物存在之处，太空；作“空隙、空白”解时，是可数名词。
