Tom is beside Ann;Mary is beside Bob,etc.
汤姆在安旁边;玛丽在鲍勃旁边(依此类推)。
Ann is between Tom and Bill;Bob is between Mary and Jane.
安在汤姆和比尔之间;鲍勃在玛丽和珍妮之间。
Mary is behind Tom;Tom is in front of Mary.
玛丽在汤姆后面;汤姆在玛丽前面。
但如果汤姆和玛丽正在吃饭,汤姆坐在桌子的一边,玛丽坐在另一边,我们就不用in front of,而说:
Tom is sitting opposite Mary.
汤姆坐在玛丽对面。
Tom is facing Mary.
汤姆面向玛丽。
但He stood in front of me(他站在我的前面)既可以指He stood with his back to me(他背朝我我站着),也可以指He faced me(他面向着我)。
住在街道一边的人讲到街道另一边的房子时说the houses op- posite us(我们对面的房子),而不说the houses in front of us(在我们前面的房子)。
对于其他事物,这些限制都不适用:
She put the plate on the table in front of him.
她把盘子放在他面前桌子上。
She sat with a book in front of her.
她坐着,面前放着一本书。
—Where′s the bank?
—There it is,just in front of you!
—银行在哪里?
—在那里,就在你前面!
There′s a car-park in front of/at the back of the hotel.
旅馆的前面/后面有一个停车场。
E 不要混淆beside和besides。
beside(=at the side of在……的旁边):
We camped beside a lake.
我们在一个湖边野营。
besides(介词)意为in addition to(此外)/as well as(又……):
I do all the cooking and besides that I help Tom.
我包做饭,此外我还帮助汤姆。
Besides doing the cooking I help Tom.
除了做饭之外我还帮助汤姆。
besides(副词)意为(a)in addition to that(此外)/as well as that(又……):
I do the cooking and help Tom besides.
我除了做饭还要帮助汤姆。
和(b)in any case(在任何情况下)/anyway(无论如何,反正):
We can′t afford oysters.Besides,Tom doesn′t like them.
我们买不起牡蛎;再说汤姆也不喜欢吃。
(参见第327节。)
F between和among
between常常表示一个人/物与其他两个人/物之间的关系。但是,当我们心目中已有了一个确定的数字,between也可以用来表示在更多的人/物之间:
Luxemburg lies between Belgiun,Germany and France.
卢森堡位于比利时、德国和法国之间。
among表示一个人/物与其他两个以上的人/物间的关系;在正常情况下我们心目中并无确定的数目:
He was happy to be among friends again.
他很高兴又回到朋友们中来了。
a village among the hills 一个群山环绕的村庄
G with也可以在上面最后一句中用来代替among。当然,它也可以和一个单数宾语连用:
He was with a friend.
他和一个朋友在一起。
其他用法的举例如下:
He cut it with a knife.
他用小刀切它。
Don′t touch it with bare hands.
不要赤手去摸它。
The mountains were covered with snow.
大雪覆盖着群山。
I have no money with me/on me.
我身上没有钱。
He fought/quarrelled with everyone.
他跟每个人都打过架/吵过嘴。
用于描述事物时:
the girl with red hair那个红头发的女孩
the boy with his hands in his pockets把双手插在口袋里的那个男孩
the man with his back to the camera/with his feet on his desk那个背对着照相机的/脚搁在桌子上的男人
H but和except(介词)
这两个介词具有同样的意思,并且可以互换使用。
but更常用在介词+宾语结构在句子中直接跟在nobody(没人)/none(没有任何人或事物)/nothing(什么也没有)/nowhere(什么地方也不)等之后时:
Nobody but Tom knew the way.
只有汤姆认得路。
Nothing but the best is sold in our shops.
本店所售商品均属精品。
句子中介词短语位于较后的位置时,常用except:
Nobody knew the way except Tom.
在all(全体,一切)/everybody(大家)/everyone(每一个人)/everything(每一件事)/everywhere(任何地方)等之后,也常用except。在anybody(任何人)/anything(任何事)/any- where(任何地方)等之后but比except更表示强调:
You can park anywhere but/except here.
你在哪儿停车都行,就是不能在这里停放车子。
but和except后面跟不带to的动词不定式。(参见第98节。)(关于but for在条件句中的用法参见第226节,关于but作连词的情况参见第326节。)
