Compared meaning: land or property someone owns (noun).

比较义项:地产、房产(名词)。

  • estate 本词

    Refers to a large piece of property, typically including a house or mansion, often associated with wealth or inheritance; more formal and specific than 'land'.

    指一大片产业,通常包括一栋房屋或宅邸,常与财富或继承相关;比“land”更正式、更具体。

    The old estate included a mansion, gardens, and hundreds of acres of woodland.

    这座古老的庄园包括一栋宅邸、花园和数百英亩的林地。

  • land

    A more general and neutral word for property or ground, often used for farming, building, or open space, without implying a house or grandeur.

    是更通用、更中性的词,指用于耕种、建造或空地的产业,不暗示带有房屋或气派。

    The farmer bought more land to expand his fields next year.

    这位农民买了更多地产,以便明年扩大他的田地。

Estate and land both mean property someone owns. Estate is large property, often with a house, linked to wealth or inheritance. Land is plainer and more general, meaning ground used for farming or building. Estate can also mean inheritance; that is not compared here.

两者都可指“归某人所有的土地/地产”,但 estate 强调带有房屋、成片规模较大的产业,常与继承、庄园联系在一起;land 泛指用于耕种或建造等用途的土地,范围更广、更普通。这里不比较 estate 的“遗产、财产(总称)”义。
