around有一些固定的搭配,如around and about,around and above,all around等。而有时不可用around,如winter comes around,all the year around,win one around等;
round与around的比较:
round常指在圈内或者曲线上的移动或定位。

英国人还常用round作“去到一个地方的每个部分”或“分东西给组里的每个人”。
We walked round the old part of the town.
Could you pass the cups round, please?
而around则指不明确的,模糊的移动或定位。
The children were running around/about everywhere.
