A dell is a small, gentle valley with grass and trees — a quiet green hollow between hills, not a wide river valley. You picture a little dip in the land where it feels . The word is old and a bit . Poets, place names, and storybooks love it; everyday talk usually says valley, hollow, or dip instead. Though actually, many English speakers know the spelling better from the computer company Dell, which is just a name and has nothing to do with the land.
小山谷、林間小谷地(文雅,多見於文學或地名)。電腦品牌「戴爾」是另一回事。
組成From Old English dell, “a small dale.” Same old Germanic root as dale, a valley.
