看了icebearpapa 的部落格貼文(Post) 才發現自己理解錯誤

原來差別在 '所有權'
I have a condo/an apartment. --> 擁有一戶公寓
I live in a condo. --> 擁有一戶公寓並住在裡面
I live in an apartment. --> 住在一戶公寓裡, 可能是分租/租整戶/或者買的
反過來說, 如果我在大都市的某社區大樓裡租了一間小套房(a studio apartment)
就不該說 I live in a condo.
而應講 I live in an apartment.

Living in a big city, renting a small studio apartment on the 4th floor of a high-rise building,
sitting on the couchbed, TV murmuring, Zisan has his microwaved dinner box from 7-11
around a strange corner --- traffic signal flashing red green or yellow?
