Hedge and hedgerow both mean a boundary of bushes. Hedge is the general word for a neatly trimmed bush line. Hedgerow means a thick, wild row of bushes and trees in the countryside, valued as wildlife habitat. Not covered: hedge meaning to reduce risk.
这两个词语义很接近，都指由灌木组成的分界物；但hedge泛指经人工种植和修剪的花园或地产分界灌木丛，语气中性、常见，而hedgerow特指乡间田野或小路旁茂密、近乎野生的灌木与小树带，带有乡村和野生动物栖息地的联想。这里不比较hedge作为对冲、规避等其他词义的用法。
