比较义项：居民，居住者（名词）。

• inhabitant 本词

  Neutral, somewhat formal word for a resident of a place, often used when counting or describing all the people who live somewhere.

  较为中性、正式的词，指某地的居民，常用于统计或描述某地的全体住户。

  The island has fewer than two hundred inhabitants left today.

  这个岛如今只剩下不到两百名居民了。

• dweller

  Usually combined with a type of place (city dweller, cave dweller) to describe someone's typical living environment, less used alone.

  通常与某类地点连用（如 city dweller、cave dweller），用来描述某人惯常的居住环境，很少单独使用。

  Cave dwellers used fire for warmth and cooking long ago.

  很久以前，穴居者用火来取暖和做饭。

Both words mean a person living in a place, often interchangeable. Dweller is usually combined with a place type, as in 'city dweller', describing living environment. Inhabitant is more neutral and formal, often used to count or describe all residents of a place.

这两个词都指“居住在某地的人”，可以互换使用，但 dweller 更常与地点类型连用（如 city dweller），带有描述“居住方式/环境”的意味；inhabitant 更中性、正式，常用于统计或描述某地全体居民。两者都不涉及其他义项。
