小知识
To dwell in a home is to live in it. To dwell on something — usually something bad, like a failed romance or terrible service in a restaurant — is to think or speak about it at great length.
Dwell has been part of the English language for over 1,000 years. The definition of the word has evolved considerably since its first recorded use in the 9th century when Old English dwellan meant “lead astray” or “hinder.” If you constantly dwell on the bad things in life, it could hinder you from seeing the good or lead you astray to the negative. If you keep complaining, your friends might tell you to stop dwelling on it or, if they're really annoyed, they'll say, “Get over it!”

动词辨析
dwell，live
这两个词的共同意思是“居住”。其区别是live是普通用语，常用于日常口语中；dwell是书面用语，一般用于文学作品中。dwell还有“仔细研究，详细论述”的意思。例如When I was only three years old，my poor mother had to live in，cooking and washing for a rich lady.我才三岁的时候，我可怜的妈妈不得不住在一个阔太太的家里，给人家做饭、洗衣服。He dreamed that he dwelled in the heaven.他做梦住在天堂里。She dwelt at length upon the similarities of the two paintings.她详细地讲述了这两幅画的相似之处。dwell，reside，live，lodge，inhabit，settle
这些动词均有“居住、定居”之意。dwell文学上的用词，口语中通常用live代替。reside书面用词，指合法的永久性居住，也指在豪华的住宅里居住。live最普通用词，指固定的居住，可以是长期的，也可以是临时的。lodge指短时间或临时住宿。inhabit强调人或动物居住在某个地区并已适应某种特殊环境。settle侧重指某人定居于城市、国家或地区，而不指居住的住所。
