核心畫面

You can think of it as someone counted as one of the people who live in a place — not a visitor passing through, but part of the population that belongs to that town, island, or region.

把一個地方的人「算進去」的那個人。想像有人在數一座小鎮上住著多少人——住在這裡、日子在這裡過的，一個一個被算進總數，…更多收起把一個地方的人「算進去」的那個人。想像有人在數一座小鎮上住著多少人——住在這裡、日子在這裡過的，一個一個被算進總數，而路過的旅客不算。inhabitant 指的就是被算進去的其中一個。這個字的重點不是「他家在哪裡」，而是「他屬於這塊地方的人口」，所以它常常跟數字一起出現：a town of 20,000 inhabitants。它偏中性、偏書面，帶點從外面觀察、清點的距離感，跟你自己說 I live here 的親近語氣不同。
