1. 1

    Land that is covered with trees, especially trees that are being grown to be cut down and sold as wood. It is not a wild forest you go walking in for fun — the word carries the sense of trees as a crop, something owned and counted.

    Land that is covered with trees長滿樹的土地, especially trees that are being grown to be cut down and sold as wood尤其是特地種來要砍伐、賣做木材的樹。 It is not a wild forest you go walking in for fun它不是你去散步玩耍的那種野生森林—— the word carries the sense of trees as a crop這個字帶著「樹是一種作物」的意味, something owned and counted是被擁有、被計算的東西。

    A paper company or a family might own timberland the way a farmer owns a field. It is mostly an American word, and it is heard most often in business, law, and news: how many acres of timberland a company holds, or who bought it. Americans usually say it as one uncountable mass — 'thousands of acres of timberland' — rather than 'a timberland'.

    A paper company or a family might own timberland造紙公司或一個家庭可能擁有timberland, the way a farmer owns a field就像農夫擁有一塊田那樣。 It is mostly an American word這主要是美式用字, and it is heard most often in business, law, and news最常出現在商業、法律和新聞裡: how many acres of timberland a company holds一家公司持有多少英畝的timberland, or who bought it或是誰買下了它。 Americans usually say it as one uncountable mass美國人通常把它當不可數的整體來說—— 'thousands of acres of timberland'「thousands of acres of timberland(好幾千英畝的林場)」—— rather than 'a timberland'而不是說「a timberland」。

    In Britain people would more likely say woodland, which does not have the money in it. Note also that Timberland with a capital T is a well-known boot brand, and for many students that is the only meaning they have met.

    In Britain people would more likely say woodland在英國,人們比較會說woodland, which does not have the money in it這個字裡沒有「錢」的意味。 Note also that Timberland with a capital T is a well-known boot brand另外要注意,大寫的Timberland是知名的靴子品牌, and for many students that is the only meaning they have met對很多學生來說,那是他們唯一認識的意思。
