entity

person's town or city of origin
The town or city where someone was born and grew up, or feels is their real home.
用法模式：
[someone]'s hometown; in [someone]'s hometown
常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *"home city"* or *"birth town"* instead of "hometown". "Hometown" can be based on where you grew up or feel at home, not only the exact place of birth. Learners may also confuse "hometown" with "homeland"; "homeland" refers to a country, not a town or city.
近义词
birthplace (Focuses specifically on the place of birth, not necessarily where someone grew up or feels at home.)
反义词
foreign city (A city that is not your own and has no personal connection to your early life or home.)
