1 [U] (Brit 英) a place for sb to live or stay 居所;住宿:
We lived in rented accommodation before buying this house.我们没买这个房子之前是租房子住的。The price of the holiday includes flights and accommodation.度假的费用包括机票和住宿费。
In British English, accommodation is uncountable. We cannot say, ‘I will help you to find an accommodation.’ In this case we could say, ‘I will help you to find somewhere to live.’ 在英国英语中,accommodation 为不可数名词。不能说 I will help you to find an accommodation,在此情形可以说 I will help you to find somewhere to live。
2accommodations [pl] (US 美) somewhere to live or stay, often also providing food or other services 住处(常提供膳食或其他服务)
3 [U] (technical术语) the way in which part of your eye (the lens)automatically becomes flatter or thicker in order to create a clear image of the object that you want to look at 眼睛调节(眼球晶状体变平或变厚,以形成清晰的映像)
