    A sandpit is a box or a special area filled with sand for children to play in — digging, making castles, pouring sand from one bucket to another. You find sandpits in gardens and playgrounds. This is the usual word in British English. In American English the same thing is a sandbox. The word is old: from Middle English sandpitte (and related spellings), from Old English sandpytt, equivalent to sand + pit. Here “pit” does not mean a dangerous hole. It just means a hollow place holding the sand. A quite different sand pit can mean a place where people dig sand out of the earth, but this meaning is the children’s play area.

    沙坑（給小孩玩沙的；美式常說 sandbox／沙盒）
