想問midtown和downtown的分別及用法?

DOWNTOWN
(noun, adjective, adverb) American English 市中心區, (尤指鬧市商業區)
- the centre of a city or town, especially the business and the shopping area where there are tall buildings, stores, offices etc.

We stayed at the hotel in the heart of downtown last summer.
(downtown ~ noun)

We met at a downtown restaurant yesterday.
(downtown ~ adjective)

I need to go downtown and get some stuff for the party.
(downtown ~ adverb)

MIDTOWN
(noun, adjective , adverb) American English 市中間地區 (商業區和住宅區的中間地區)
- the part of a city that is between central business area (downtown) and the outer parts (uptown).

UPTOWN
(noun, adjective, adverb) [大多數是住宅區]
- the upper part of a city or town, that are away from the centre, especially the one where the streets have large numbers in their names.

If you go uptown, or go to a place uptown, you go away from the centre of a city or town towards the edge.

如果你看的是某城市的樓價書或故事書的話

downtown是指市中心商業區(商業價值高，但如果downtown同時有舊區的話這地區的住宅通常都是低價和窮人區甚至是政府的廉租屋區)

mid-town是指市內(如美國紐約曼克頓的mid-town是central park一帶或者中國大城市三環至六環之間的區域都可以叫mid-town)，按行車時間的話半小時內。

另外還有up-town是指一個城市的高尚住宅區，不一定是位置高或在山頂上。
找一下madonna有首up-town girl裏面的歌詞便說一個uptown gril遇上一個downtown man.

簡單來講downtown是有強調在商業區中心的意思,而midtown則無強調,只解作在市區中心。

(1)down town is in or towards the centre of a city,especially its main business area:-eg to work downtown,not in shed-area near New York.
(2)mid-town is the part of a city that is between the central business area and the outer parts,eg:-mid-town Manhattan is mid-way between two places;the Manhattan and the out-lying areas.
