小知识
Deep, wide and often filled with water, a gulf is any vast and seemingly unbridgeable area.
You've probably heard of the Gulf of Mexico, that large body of water that's partly surrounded by land. But a gulf doesn't have to be all about the ocean. If two people have vastly different cultures or opinions, you could say that there's a gulf between them — a large divide that neither side is willing or able to cross.

名词辨析
gulf，bay
这两个词都有“海湾”的意思。其区别在于1.在含义上，gulf指比bay大的海湾，其湾的开口要比bay的湾口要狭窄些。2.在用法上，gulf前一般要用冠词；而bay前一般不用冠词，但后面带of短语时，必须加冠词。bay，gulf这两个名词均有“海湾”之意。bay指海岸线上一大块凹入的地方，是港口的所在地。gulf一般比bay大，但比sea小。指大片深入到陆地中，由海岸围绕成半圆形的海水区域。
