  1. 1

    A cavern is a large cave: a big hollow space in rock, under the ground or inside a mountain. People use cave for almost any hole in rock that you can walk into. Cavern usually makes you picture something bigger and more impressive — a high ceiling, a wide floor, sometimes water or stone shapes inside. Writers also stretch it a little for any huge indoor space that feels dark and empty, like a cavern of a station. In careful English it sounds a bit more literary than cave; in everyday talk many people just say cave even when the space is huge.

    洞窟、大洞穴（比口頭常說的 cave 更大、更深的那種）
