一、详细释义:


adj.

附近的,邻近的


例句:

例句:

At a nearby table a man was complaining in a loud voice.

adv.

在附近,不远地


例句:

附近有不太贵的住处。


例句:

He spoke softly to a couple standing nearby.

他轻声和站在旁边的一对夫妇说话。


二、词义辨析:


close,near,nearby

这些形容词均有“接近的”之意。 close语气强于near。指时间、地点或程度方面的接近,有紧靠、相邻的意味。 near语气弱于close,也指时间或空间上的接近,但无“紧接,接触”的含义。 nearby指距离上很近,近在咫尺。


三、参考例句:
