Centre usually describes the middle part of an area, although it can also describe the inside part of a thing. The middle can be used to talk about an area or thing, or a period of time or situation. * centre通常指地域的中心，但亦可指某物的内部。the middle可指地域或某物的中心、一段时间或某种情况的中间阶段◆I should have finished by the centre of the week. ◆When they quarrel, I am often caught in the centre. The centre of an area may be a more precise point than the middle: the centre of a circle is the point in the exact middle; the middle of a circle is usually a larger area inside it. Central describes a place or area within a bigger place or object. Middle as an adjective is used more to describe objects or people than places, especially when there is an equal number of people or objects on either side. 与the middle相比，centre所指的地域的中心可能是更为精确的一点：the centre of a circle指位于正中央的那一点，the middle of a circle通常指圆内的中心区域，范围比the centre of a circle大。central用以形容较大区域内的一块或较大物体内的一处。middle用作形容词时较多描述物体或人，而非区域，尤用于两边的人或物体的数量相等的情况◆the central shopping district中心购物区◆the middle shopping district ◆our middle son (= we have three sons altogether) 我们三个儿子中的老二◆our central son
