语域：neutral 常见场景：geography、ecology、agriculture、nature writing grassland 是中性（略偏正式）的名词，多用于地理、生态、农牧业等书面或一般描述中；日常口语中虽可使用，但通常不如 fields、meadows 随意。
这些词（land, sand, stand, brand, expand, planned）末尾的元音和辅音与 grassland 的 -land（/lænd/）相同，构成押韵。注意：island、mainland、woodland、highland 等词虽然也以 -land 结尾，但其中的 -land 往往弱读为 /lənd/，并不与 grassland 押韵。
