Official city status is given by the king or queen (in Britain) or state governments in the US. As time went by towns and cities changed in size, so that these days it is possible to find some cities that are smaller than many towns. In American English town can also describe a smaller place than in British English, as the term village is not used so much in American English. * city通常比town大，但并不总是如此。官方的城市地位在英国由国王或女王授予，在美国由州政府授予。随着时代的变迁，town和city的规模也在变化，因此现今有的city可能比 town小。美式英语的town也可指比英式英语的town小一些的地方，因为美式英语中不太使用village这个词。■ village [countable] a very small town situated in a country area 村庄；村镇◆Appledore is a fishing village on the north coast of Devon.阿普尔多尔是德文北岸的一个渔村。◆ (especially BrE) Most basic items are available from the village shop.大多数基本用品都可以从乡村商店买到。◆Her books are about village life.她的书是关于乡村生活的。ⓘ Do not use village to talk about small towns in the US. In American English village is used for a small place in another country that seems more old-fashioned than a town in the US. 在美国说小村镇不用village。在美式英语中，village指其他国家的看似比美国小村镇古老的小地方。■ borough ˈbʌrə; NAmE ˈbɜːroʊ [countable] a town or part of a city that has its own local government 自治市镇；（城市）行政区◆She served as a local councillor in the London Borough of Westminster.她是伦敦的威斯敏斯特自治市的地方议员。■ municipality mjuːˌnɪsɪˈpæləti [countable] (formal) a political unit, such as a city, town, village or district, that has its own local government; the group of officials who govern it 自治市；（市下的）自治区；市（或区）政当局◆The municipality provides services such as electricity, water and rubbish collection.自治市政府提供电力、水和垃圾收集等服务。▸ municipal
