<<『Be home to』 的中文是？>>
我們很都熟悉『home』的意思是『家』，那『be home to ….. 』的中文意思是『....的家』嗎？🤔️🌹
👉『be home to』 有幾個很有意境的用法，很值得記下來喔！
📍常用来表示『⋯⋯的所在地』或是『某地拥有⋯⋯』
例如「台灣有兩千三百萬人。」我們可以說：
🌸 There are 23 million people in Taiwan.⋯⋯ (初級)
但用下面的句子來表達會更有詩意喔！
🌸 Taiwan is home to 23 million people. ⋯⋯(進階)
👉 當介绍一個地區的特色時，也可以用到『 be home to』:
例如「矽谷是很多高科技公司的大本營。」我們就可以說：
🌸 Silicon Valley is home to many hi-tech companies.
🩸🩸再補充一個跟上面片語長的很像但是意思不一樣的片語：
👉『be the home of 』 是指『⋯⋯的起源地』
例如「台灣是珍珠奶茶的發源地。」，我們就可以說：
🌸 Taiwan is the home of bubble milk tea.
