单词 | around(round) |
释义 | around : round — 107 1a. 在大多数情况下,这两个介词可以通用(注:美国英语使用 around 较多),但比较说来,作“附近”讲,以使用前者为宜,作“环绕”或“绕行”讲,则以使用后者较为赅意。 例如: Most of the houses around here were built several decades ago. 这里附近的房屋都是在数十年前盖的。 A rumour went around the town that the Mayor had died. 有个谣言在全城传开,说是市长已经去世了。 She spent the whole morning looking around the shops. 她花了一上午时间到各铺子去看了看。 Mary had a string of pearls round her neck. 玛丽有一串珍珠套在脖子上。 The secretary went round all families telling them to pay at- tention to birth control. 这位书记到各处去串门,要他们多多注意计划生育。 1b. 因此,前者多半用于静态的场合,而后者则以用于动态为宜。 例如: There are eight chairs around the table. 桌子的四周有 8 把椅子。 The children sat around their mother. 孩子们坐在他们母亲的周围。 The aggressors have put the noose round their own necks. 侵略者们已把绞索套在他们自己的脖子上了。 The earth revolves round the sun. 地球环绕太阳旋转。 |
