hilly和mountainous 两个单词的区别,意思都是多山的,怎么用
① hilly
a) Having many hills - 很多hill;
b) Similar to a hill; steep. - 像hill一样的, 陡峭;
② mountainous
a) Having many mountains. - 很多山;
b) Resembling a mountain in size; huge: - 像山一样的大;
所以区别还要看hill和mountain; 主要区别:
hill是山丘; mountain是大山; hill = A well-defined natural elevation smaller than a mountain. 已表明自然的隆起但幅度比山小;
所以hilly是“(多)山丘的”;而mountainous是“群山的”。
