秋天可以说 autumn 或是 fall 。简单来分的话，autumn 属于英式、 fall 属于美式，不过现在没有那么明确区分英式美式了。

所以不管讲哪个大家都能明白你在讲秋天哦！注意哦，fall 虽然有「秋天」的意思，但更常在生活中表达「失败」、「跌倒」的概念！

It was a breezy autumn night that I fell in love with him.
我在一个微风轻拂的秋夜里爱上他。

autumn 也常常被拿来当作词组使用，象是 autumn year 是「晚年」的意思。

He spent his autumn years with his beloved one.
他与他的挚爱一起度过晚年。
