- 1莊園、帶農舍的鄉間大宅
A grange is a large country house with farm buildings around it — barns, a yard, land. In Britain you meet it in old houses and place names: The Grange on a map is often just that kind of home, not a palace and not a tiny cottage. The word feels a little old and story-like; few people say it about a new house. Though actually, in the United States the Grange can also mean a farmers' club, which is a different thing. Here we mean the house and farm.
From the word’s history
From Old French grange 'granary, barn', from Vulgar Latin *grānica, from Latin grānum 'grain'.
經古法文 grange「穀倉」，源自拉丁文 grānum「穀粒」。
組成From Middle English graunge, from Old French grange (a granary, barn, or small farm), from Vulgar Latin *grānica, from Latin grānum, grain. It started as a place for grain, and later came to mean a country house with farm buildings.
