Usage Note :

When you are talking about someone's home, the verb live has a different meaning in the continuous tenses than it does in the simple tenses. For example, if you say 'I'm living in London', this suggests that the situation is temporary and you may soon move to a different place. If you say 'I live in London', this suggests that London is your permanent home.

live表示“居住”时，在进行时态中与一般时态中含义不同。如：I'm living in London（我目前住在伦敦）表示这种状态是暂时的，可能很快会搬到别的地方去。I live in London（我住在伦敦）则表示这是永久性住处。
