Hanhtu Q: Cho em hỏi "quarter-acre block" là gì?

Springtime : ngôi nhà ở vùng ngoại ô

CheeGee : quarter-acre: 1/4 mẫu Anh

Haulahire : acre là một đơn vị đo diện tích. quarter-acre là 1/4 acre. Còn block thì tùy ngữ cảnh mà dịch.

Springtime : In Australian and New Zealand English, a quarter acre is a term for a suburban plot of land.

Springtime : đề nghị chủ nhân cho thêm ngữ cảnh

CheeGee : A quarter acre – or around 1000m2 – provides room for a decent sized home and a substantial backyard. Traditionally, Australians have filled their backyard with a chook house, shed, vege patch, maybe some fruit trees and a decent patch of lawn to kick the footy or play cricket.

CheeGee : But is the dream changing? The size of allotments in new land releases is steadily falling. In South Australia, the latest statistics show that the average new lot size is hovering just above 500m2.

CheeGee : In fact, the latest land release is offering '''half acre blocks''', offering plenty of room for home owners to enjoy the traditional Australian lifestyle and more.

Springtime : hic
