room,home,house的區別

在英語表達裡，home和house都有家的含義。但house更具體，通常指具體的建築物，沒有感情色彩; 而home指家庭成員共同生活的地方，感情色彩強。
我們都有一個家。在英文中，「家」是home，house還是room呢 ？快來看看它們的不同用法吧！

home

home是有生命有活力的家 ， 相當於一個統稱或者是泛指，飽含感情色彩，主要指一個人出生或居住的地方，房屋是其中的一部分，因而也有「家鄉、故鄉」的意思，它具有house所沒有的感情色彩（如「團聚」、「思念」等）。

home是副詞 go home 中間不加介詞to。
Let's go home.咱們回家吧。

house

house更注重指房子， 房屋，指房子這個客觀實體，一般對家人所居住的建築物而言。

room

room它表示房間，和house比起來小了很多。一個house包括許多用途不同的room，比如kitchen, bedroom和bathroom等。

family

family更注重指家裡人、家庭、家庭成員，與居住的房子無關。
當family作為整體概念的「家庭」講時是單數；當「家庭成員」講時是複數，如：
Mr．Richard's family is very large．
理查德先生家裡的人很多。（單數）
My family are very well．
我家裡人都很好。（複數）


Stay at home和Stay in the house的區別
房子可以是任意一個建築，但家只有一個。

at house:這個詞組一看就知道是錯的。考試時如發現這個詞組千萬不要選它。
to the house：to有方向的意思這個詞組是回（或進入）房子，表示動作過程。
at home：是在家意思，是一種狀態。

關於House 和 home 區別的作文

"House " and " home " are two words that have similar meanings, which often confuses people. " House " and " home " both refer to places, which people live in. However, there is a slight difference between them. "Home" is often referred to as the place that we live in with our families. Sadly, in our society, people can hardly distinguish a home from a house because they often see no difference between them. This confusion can be traced back to the indifference between family members. Therefore, we can say that love is an important factor in a home.

A home is a shelter, not only for our bodies but also for our minds. Whenever we are depressed, we can go home for comfort. Everyone in the family will do his best to take care of each other and share their happiness as well as sorrow. Without love, a home is merely a house where loneliness is all that can be found. In conclusion, a house can never be a home unless there is love.
