round和all around通常可以互换,区别如下:
1、在表示"圆形运转,回到原处", "环绕","周围"时,美语常用around,而英语常用round
例如:You can see the post office
round/around that corner. 绕过那个弯你就可以看到邮局。
2、round可以用作形容词、副词、介词、动词、名词而around只能用作副词或介词。
例如:The
post office is just round (around) the house (用作介词).
He has round face (用作形容词).
The river rounded the stones. (用作动词)??
3、all around
还可以表示"不止一处","在许多地方","在不同地方". 但在美国英语里,一般只用all around
例如: The students are standing
around(学生们在到处站着)
