Andrew Smith: 我今天要解答一位来自韩国的听众Doyoun的问题，他询问beach, coast和shore这三个词的区别。这三个词语相关，但也有重要的区别。Beach是最具体的词，指的是海边或湖边几乎水平的沙石带，经常被海水冲刷。我们通常用at the beach来表达在海滩附近待着，用on the beach来描述在海滩上进行的具体活动。Coast指的是海洋边缘的陆地，可以指一个很大的区域，比如，即使巴尔的摩距离大西洋还有几公里远，我们也称它为东海岸城市。我们可以用on the coast来表示在海岸地区，off the coast of来表示相对于陆地位置的海洋区域。Shore指的是通常指大型水体边缘的陆地，有时指海滩，但也不总是指海滩，比如你可以游到岸边，上到海滩，但你也可以在没有海滩的港口上岸。我们可以用shore来讨论沿海地区，就像我们用coast一样。
