同学你好~
countryside 常用来泛指一切乡村地域或居民。例如：
The countryside is the most beautiful at this time.此时农村景色最美。
I bought many pictures of the Chinese countryside.我买了许多有关中国农村的图片。

country 作“乡村”讲时，侧重指区别于城市的乡间、乡下。例如：
They are leaving the country and moving into the town.他们离开乡下搬到城里去了。
I am going to spend this summer vacation with my grandmother in the country. 我准备今天和祖母在乡下过暑假。

祝同学学习进步~
