A kerb kerb is是 the raised stone edge between the road, where cars go, and the pavement, where people walk.馬路（車走的地方）跟人行道（人走的地方）之間那條凸起的石頭邊界。 You step up onto it你會踩上去 when you leave the street;離開馬路的時候; a badly parked car may have a wheel up on it.停不好的車輪子也可能會壓上去。

This spelling is British. In American English the same roadside edge is spelled curb.

This spelling is British.這個拼法是英式的。 In American English在美式英文裡 the same roadside edge is spelled同樣這個路邊的東西拼作 curb.curb。

Though actually, British English still uses curb — with a u — as a verb meaning “hold something back” (curb your temper, curb spending). The stone at the side of the road is the one that took the kerb spelling.

Though actually,不過其實， British English still uses英式英文還是會用 curb — with a u — as a verb curb（有u的那個拼法）當動詞用 meaning “hold something back”意思是「壓住、克制」 (curb your temper, curb spending).比如curb your temper（克制脾氣）、curb spending（抑制花費）。 The stone at the side of the road路邊那塊石頭 is the one that took the kerb spelling.才是用kerb這個拼法的那個。

You may also meet kerb-crawling, a bleak, specific use: driving slowly along the kerb to look for a sex worker. In ordinary talk, though, kerb is just that little step of stone, and kerbstone is the block itself.

You may also meet你也可能會遇到 kerb-crawling,kerb-crawling這個字, a bleak, specific use:一個很特定、也不太光彩的用法: driving slowly along the kerb to look for a sex worker.指沿著路邊慢慢開車找性工作者。 In ordinary talk, though,不過在一般說法裡, kerb is just that little step of stone,kerb就只是那一小階石頭, and kerbstone is the block itself.kerbstone則是指那塊石頭本身。
