downtown 和uptown的区别是：这两个词主要用在美国英语中。在美国，市中心商业区叫做downtown，去远离市中心的居住区叫做 uptown。在19世纪三十年代，纽约城快速扩张，建立居民区只能向上建在周围的高地曼哈顿岛(the Island of Manhattan)上。去那里是上坡，故叫做uptown；而去商业区则是下坡，故去繁华的商业区是downtown。这两个词 既可以做名词，也可以作形容词、副词。现简述如下： 1. downtown (名词）市中心区，（市中）商业区；（形容词）商业区的，闹市区；（副词）在商业（闹市）区; 到闹市区。例如：There is heavy traffic in the downtown area tonight.今夜闹市区交通繁忙。The city is providing free transportation to the stadium from downtown.本市现在提供从市中心到体育场的免费交通。This was, New York apart, the first American city I had ever been in where people actually lived downtown. 除了纽约，这是我到过的第一个人们确实住在市中心的美国城市。Next she looked for a new summer dress from a shop downtown. 下一步,她到市区一家店物色一件夏装。 2. uptown (名词）住宅区，远离商业区的市区；（形容词）住宅区的；（副词） 往(或在)城外, 往(或在)城镇的非商业区,在住宅区。例如：New uptown is nearby the high way. 新住宅区紧挨高速公路。He rode uptown and made his way to Bob's apartment. 他乘车前往城外鲍勃的公寓。Susan continued to live uptown. 苏珊继续住在市郊。There's a skating rink uptown. 市郊有一个溜冰场。They live in an apartment uptown. 他们住在市郊的一套公寓。She went to the uptown post office. 她去住宅区的邮局。
