有時為住家或其他較小建築物的屋舍，依固定費用提供公寓或房間，有時亦供膳食。寄宿舍與供膳食的私人住房的根本差異在於，寄宿舍提供較少便利設施，也較少和家庭成員或其他經營者社交接觸。然而，在十九世紀美國的用法中，本詞彙與「供膳食的私人住房」的意義可能重疊。

meaning/usage overlaps with....

供膳食的私人住房

英文....	Houses, sometimes family homes or other relatively small buildings, that offer for a fixed fee apartments or rooms and sometimes meals. Rooming houses typically differ from boardinghouses in that a rooming house offers fewer amenities and less social contact with the family or other operators. However, in nineteenth-century American usage, the term may overlap in meaning with "boardinghouses."
