(绕过那个弯你就可以看到邮局。但是一定要区别它们的不同之处:round可以用作形容词、副词、介词、动词、名词;而around只能用作副词或介词。例如:The post office is just round (around) the house (用作介词). He has round face (用作形容词). The river rounded the stones. (用作动词)??

1. 无论用作介词还是副词,around在很多情况下可与round换用:
(1) 表示“在…周围”、“环绕”等,两者常可互换:
They sataround [round] the fire. 他们围坐在火的四周。
The moon turnsaround [round] the earth. 月球绕着地球转。
He turned around[round]. 他转过身去。
按传统语法:around 表示静态,round 表示动态。但事实上,在英国英语中,不管是动态还是静态,多用 round;而在美国英语中,不管是动态还是静态,多用 around。所以在正非正式文体中,两者常可换用。
(2) 表示“到处”,两者常可互换:
Would you like to walkaround [round] the factory this afternoon? 今天下午到工厂的各处走走好吗?
Can I look around [round]? 我可以到处看看吗
Can I look around [round]? (顾客在商店常用)?
(3) 表示“大约” (主要用于数字前,有时也于表示时间的词组前),两者常可换用:
It costs around [round] 10 dollars. 大约要花10美元。
They arrived around [round] 5 o’clock. 他们是大约5 点钟到的。
I’ll be back around [round] lunch time. 我午饭前后回来。
(4) 表示把某物分给一群人中的每一个,两者常可换用:

2. around 通常只用作介词或副词,round可用作介词、副词、名词、形容词等,所以用作名词和形容词的round显然不能用around代之。
