And if you're looking for REAL peace and quiet, but don't fancy living in the country, you may want to consider living here!
SUBURB 郊外、近郊住宅地
- A suburb is a mostly residential area on the edge of a city.
Be Careful! “Bed town” （ベッドタウン） is Japanese-English and is NOT used to mean suburb. - suburb とは、主に街はずれにある住宅地のことです。
注意：「ベッドタウン」は和製英語です。suburb という意味をさす英語としては使いません。
- I work downtown, but live in the suburbs.
- After we had our third child, we decided to move into a bigger house in the suburbs.
- I did a homestay in Australia, in a suburb of Melbourne. My host family had a house with a swimming pool in the backyard!
- (fictional news report)
Residents of (= people who live in) Berlitzville, a popular London suburb, say that a mountain lion has been seen in several parks in the area.
