According to Wikipedia: A mansion (also referred to as a country house or manor 領地/莊園) is a large dwelling house (大型住宅) typically (典型地/一般地) built for the wealthy (有錢人). The word itself derives (衍生) (through Old French) from the Latin (拉丁) word.

維基網址:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansion在香港而言,好些大廈的英文地址,棄用BUILDING,而採用MANSION,例子:- 灣仔的ON HING MANSION (安興大廈)- 北角的JAVA MANSION (渣華大樓)

那麼,何解用MANSION,而不用一般的BUILDING?大抵是出於個人喜好吧(大廈業主的喜好)!As a matter of fact (事實上), there are many terms to present the address, eg.Liven House (利維大廈)/ National Court (立信大廈)/ Hankow Apartments (漢口大廈)...

Hence, explanation in English is diversified (多變化的).Never the only one case (不一而足).

copy cat....

Mansion = a very big house on a large piece of territory, which occupy by one family only, most of the owner are very rich, but no necessary with a title.

雖然上面幾位網友既回答都係岩, 但係冇人用mansion 黎解做大廈架囉
一般黎講當d人講mansion, 佢地都係解"豪宅"
大廈真係少d, 所以如果要講大廈用building或skyscraper(高的大廈) 比較好
如果你意思係豪宅既話用mansion 比較好
用mansion 黎形容大廈會誤導人地

Mansion是大廈
