preposition
第一组:垂直空间(Over / Under vs. Above / Below)
这组词最容易混淆,关键在于“正上方”还是“相对高度”。
- over:
- 正上方:The lamp hangs over the table. (灯挂在桌子正上方。)
- 覆盖:Spread a cloth over the table. (在桌上铺一块布。)
- 越过:The plane flew over the city. (飞机从城市上空飞过。)
- under: The cat is hiding under the bed. (猫躲在床底下。)

- below (低于某个平面/水平线): The sun sank below the horizon. (太阳落到了地平线以下。)
第二组:距离与邻近(Near / By / Beside / Next to)
这组词描述“在附近”,但程度略有不同。
- near: Is there a park near here? (这附近有公园吗?)
- by: He stood by the window and looked out. (他站在窗边向外看。)
- beside: Come and sit beside me. (过来坐在我旁边。)
- next to: The pharmacy is next to the bank. (药店紧邻着银行。)
第三组:穿越与经过(Across / Through / Past)
这组词描述“动感”的过程。
- across (从表面穿过,如过马路、过桥): Be careful when you walk across the street. (过马路时要小心。)
- through (从内部/立体空间穿过,如森林、隧道): The train went through the tunnel. (火车穿过了隧道。)
- past: He drove past the post office without stopping. (他开车经过邮局没停。)
第四组:相对位置(Opposite / Against / In front of / Behind)
- opposite: The hotel is opposite the station. (旅馆在车站对面。)
- against:
- 倚靠:He leaned his bike against the wall. (他把自行车靠在墙上。)
- 相反:We are rowing against the current. (我们正逆流而上。)

第五组:群体与区间(Between / Among)

第六组:动态方向(To / Toward / Onto / Into / Out of / Off)

💡 深度对比总结(帮你区分最难的):
- Across vs. Through:
- Across 像是在纸上画横线(2D表面,如:across the desert 穿过沙漠)。
- Through 像是在管子里穿行(3D空间,如:through the forest 穿过森林)。
- Over vs. Above:
- Over 强调“垂直正上方”或“覆盖”。
- Above 仅仅强调“高度更高”(比如山顶在云层之上用 above)。
- To vs. Toward:
- To 强调“到达目的地”。
- Toward 强调“朝那个方向”,不一定到达。
