说明

在美国，“前院晾晒衣服（drying clothes / hanging laundry out to dry in the front yard）”在一些地方会被限制，主要原因通常是这些：

• HOA（业主协会）外观统一/“小区形象”要求：很多 HOA 的 CC&Rs（社区规约）会把前院的可见物（clothesline / drying rack 等）当作影响外观的东西来管，理由常见是“看起来乱、影响统一风格/房价观感”。
• 市/县的市容或物业维护条例（code enforcement / property maintenance）：有些城市/地区在条例里会直接写“前院/前廊不许拉晾衣绳或挂衣物”，违规可能会收到通知或罚款。比如 Fort Worth（TX）明确禁止在特定住宅分区的前院/前廊设置晾衣绳；一些城市的维护指引也写明前院/侧院/阳台栏杆不该晾衣物。
• “Right-to-dry（晒衣权）”与“仍可合理限制”并存：不少州有“right-to-dry/solar drying”相关法律，会限制 HOA 或地方政府对晾晒的“一刀切禁止”，但通常仍允许合理限制（例如要求放在后院、不可从街上明显可见、限定器材类型等）。加州的 Civil Code 4750.10 就是典型例子：强调 HOA 不能不合理地禁止业主在后院使用晾衣绳/晾衣架。

所以对话里“HOA 接到投诉、提醒把衣物移到 backyard（后院）”这一套逻辑，是很符合真实情况的：很多地方不是完全不让晒，而是更在意“前院是否可见、是否影响外观”。

说明

fire department vs fire brigade
🇬🇧 fire brigade = 英式英语更常用
🇺🇸 美式英语基本不用

对比总结：

• 🇺🇸 American English
  ✅ fire department
  ⚠️ fire brigade（听得懂，但不地道）
• 🇬🇧 British English
  ✅ fire brigade
  也可以用 fire service

📌 在美国说 fire brigade，不会被纠正，但立刻暴露是非母语或英式背景。

Lottery

在美国，“Lottery” 是统称，但真正最受欢迎、最常听到、奖金最高的两种彩票 是：
1. Powerball（强力球）— 全美最有名、最常爆巨奖的彩券
2. Mega Millions（超级百万）— 和 Powerball 一样超热门

“Lottery” 是统称，但美国人平常口语里会直接说：
“Did you buy a Powerball ticket?”
“The Mega Millions jackpot is huge tonight.”
