Hi 齐超,

I think it is clearly the second case. If these would be alternative addresses, 
then it would probably not be sufficient just to specify different streets. The 
locations could be in different urban districts (maybe causing different postal 
codes) or even different cities, states/provinces and countries. There are 
multiple streets to give room for more specific addresses, for example for large 
business buildings hosting a lot of companies, to specify departmental 
information in large companies or to allow different addressing schemes -- the 
western scheme of street names and house numbers are not necessarily applied 
world-wide.

Regards,

Klaus
