常见误用提醒

使用 townscape:I like the townscape of the countryside. → I like the landscape of the countryside. (“townscape”特指城镇的风景,而“countryside”是乡村,应使用“landscape”表示自然或乡村风光。)

使用 townscape:The townscape is very noisy. → The town is very noisy. (“townscape”侧重于视觉景象,不直接描述声音;应使用“town”来指代城镇本身及其环境。)

使用 cityscape:I like the cityscape in Beijing because it has many people. → I like the cityscape of Beijing because of its historic architecture. (错误用法中“many people”描述的是人口,而非风景外观;正确用法应聚焦于视觉元素如建筑。)
