Resident is the most general word here and can refer simply to all the people who live in a town, area or country. It can also refer to people who have their home in a particular place for official purposes, for example for paying tax. A resident is usually part of a modern society, living in a house or flat in a village, town or city. Inhabitant can be used in a similar way, or it can refer to people (or animals) living a more basic life either in the past or in a wilder environment. * resident在本组词中含义最宽泛，可指居住在某个城镇、地区或国家的所有人，亦可指出于纳税等公务目的将家安在某处的人。resident通常指住在村镇或城市房子或公寓的居民，是现代社会的一部分。inhabitant有类似用法，也可指生活在过去或是比较荒蛮的环境中生活较为简朴的人，还可指生存在某处的动物◆the inhabitants of the rainforest / tundra / remote islands热带雨林／苔原／偏远岛屿的居民 ■ dweller [countable] (especially in compounds 尤用于构成复合词) (rather formal, written) a person or animal that lives in the particular place that is mentioned 居民；居住者；栖身者◆The disease spread quickly among the poor slum dwellers of the city.这种疾病在那座城市的贫民窟迅速蔓延。◆Almost all Asian hornbills are forest dwellers.几乎所有的亚洲犀鸟都栖身于森林。■ householder /ˈhaʊshəʊldə(r); NAmE ˈhaʊshoʊldər/ [countable] (formal) a person who owns or rents the house that they live in 房主；住户◆Single householders receive a 20% discount on their council tax.单身户主缴纳市政税享有20%的减税。■ local [countable, usually plural] a person who lives in a particular place or area, especially compared with people coming from outside 当地人，本地人（尤与外地人相对）◆The locals are very friendly.当地人很友好。◆Tensions have been growing between students and locals in the area.那个地区的学生和当地居民之间关系日益紧张。■ native [countable] a person who lives in a particular place, usually sb who has lived there a long time, and especially compared with tourists or foreigners 本地人，当地人（尤与游客或外国人相对）◆You can always tell the difference between the tourists and the natives.游客与当地人的区别一望便知。◆She speaks Italian like a native.她的意大利语说得和意大利人一样。ⓘ In the past the word native was used by Europeans to describe a person who lived in a place originally, before white people arrived there. This use of the word is now considered offensive and should be avoided. When using native simply to mean sb who has lived in a place for a long time, make it clear that the contrast is with tourists or foreigners (especially those who speak a different language), not with white people or Westerners. In many cases it may be better to use local instead. 在过去，欧洲人用native一词指某地在白人来到之前的原住民、土著，这一用法如今被视为冒犯，应当避免。用native表示在某地住了很长时间的当地人时，要说清楚是与游客或外国人（尤其是讲别种语言的）相对而言的，而不是与白人或西方人相对。在许多情况下，用local可能会更好◆You can always tell the difference between the tourists and the locals.游客与当地人的区别一望便知。However, in the context of language, use native. 不过，谈论语言时，用native◆She speaks Italian like a local. see also native ⇨ citizen noun , native ⇨ cultural adj. |
