ground is the normal word for the solid surface that you walk on when you are not in a building or vehicle. you can use earth if you want to draw attention to the rock, soil etc. that the ground is made of, but ground can also be used in any of the examples for earth. land is only used when you want to contrast it with the sea. * ground 是通用词，指建筑物或车辆外人可行走的地面。如果强调的是构成大地的岩石、土壤等，可用 earth，不过 earth 所适用的任何场合亦可用 ground。land 只在与海对比时使用◆the land beneath our feet ◆feel the land shake ◆sight ground/earth ◆travel by ground/earth earth [uncountable] the substance that plants grow in土；泥；泥土◆she put a couple of handfuls of earth into the pot.她将几把泥土装到花盆里。◆in the air was the smell of freshly dug earth.空气中弥漫着刚刚翻松过的泥土的气味。ⓘ earth is often used to talk about the soil found in gardens or used for gardening. * earth 常指花园里的土壤或园艺用土。 ➡ see also earth → floor 1 ▸ earthy adjective◆earthy colours / smells泥土的颜色／气味 earth (also the earth, earth, the earth) [uncountable, singular] the planet that we live on地球◆the fossil record shows the history of life on earth.化石记录着地球上的生命史。◆the earth revolves around the sun.地球绕着太阳转。◆in the story the aliens have a plan to destroy planet earth.故事中外星人计划摧毁地球。note 辨析 the world or the earth?in some cases you can use either word.在有些情况下这两个词可以通用◆i must be the happiest person in the world / on earth!我肯定是这世上最幸福的人了！however, there is usually a difference of emphasis: use the world when you are only concerned with things that exist in the world, and not with anything that exists outside it. earth is more often used when our planet is being considered in relation to other planets, its place in space, or heaven. compare world peace (= peace between all the countries in the world) and peace on earth (= peace as a gift to people on earth from god in heaven).但是，两个词通常强调不同的内容。使用 the world 时表示仅与地球上的事物相关，与地球以外的事情没有关系。使用 earth 时地球常被视为相对于其他行星或处于太空中的行星，或相对于上天的大地。试比较 world peace （世界和平）和 peace on earth （上帝赐予大地的安宁）。earth¹/ɜ:θ ||; ɝθ/noun1.
