    The plainest, most neutral word for a view; it does not imply width, height or beauty, and just describes the ordinary surroundings someone is looking at.

  • prospect

    A formal, rather old-fashioned word for a wide view usually seen from a height; it appears mainly in the fixed phrase "a fine prospect".

Scene, prospect, vista, and panorama can all mean a view you can see. Scene is the plainest, most neutral word. Prospect and vista are literary words for a fine view, often from a height. Panorama stresses a complete, wide view seen from a high point.

这四个词都表示看到的景色或视野,但语体和侧重点不同:scene 最普通中性,prospect 和 vista 偏文学化,panorama 强调完整宽广。这里不比较 scene 表示“电影、戏剧中的场景”、prospect 表示“前程、可能性”以及 panorama 表示“概论、全貌”的其他意义。
