    A fairground is the open land where a fair happens — the kind with rides, games, food stalls, and bright lights, not the “be fair to each other” kind of fair. You walk on it; the rides sit on it. The word names the place, not the fun itself: after the trucks pack up, the fairground is just empty ground again.

    A fairground一個fairground(園遊會場地) is the open land就是那塊空地 where a fair happens園遊會辦在上面的 the kind with rides, games, food stalls, and bright lights就是有遊樂設施、遊戲攤位、小吃攤,還有燈光閃爍的那種 not the "be fair to each other" kind of fair不是「公平對待彼此」那個fair You walk on it你走在上面 the rides sit on it遊樂設施也蓋在上面 The word names the place這個詞指的是那塊地 not the fun itself不是指那些好玩的東西本身 after the trucks pack up等貨車都收拾走了以後 the fairground is just empty ground again那塊fairground又只是一片空地

    In British English this is the everyday word. In American English people often say the fairgrounds, with an s, and they may mean a big permanent site where a county fair or show comes back each year.

    In British English在英式英文裡 this is the everyday word這是日常會用的詞 In American English在美式英文裡 people often say the fairgrounds, with an s人常說the fairgrounds,加s and they may mean而且可能是指 a big permanent site一個大型的固定場地 where a county fair or show comes back each year郡園遊會或展覽每年都會回來辦的地方

    Though actually, speakers also use fairground for the whole noisy world of rides and stalls, as if the place and the event were one thing. If you only wanted the event, fair would be enough; fairground keeps pointing at the ground under the lights.

    Though actually不過其實 speakers also use fairground說話的人也會用fairground for the whole noisy world of rides and stalls指整個吵吵鬧鬧、有遊樂設施和攤位的世界 as if the place and the event were one thing好像場地和活動是同一回事 If you only wanted the event如果你只是想講活動本身 fair would be enough用fair就夠了 fairground keeps pointing at the ground under the lights但fairground講的一直是燈光底下那塊地
