篇二：英语中方位的表达法
英语中方位的表达方式
一、in, to, on和off在方位名词前的区别
1. in表示A地在B地范围之内。如：Taiwan is in the southeast of China.
2. to表示A地在B地范围之外，即二者之间有距离间隔。如：Japan lies to the east of China.
3. on表示A地与B地接壤、毗邻。如：North Korea is on the east of China.
4. off表示“离??一些距离或离??不远的海上”。如： They arrived at a house off the main road. New Zealand lies off the eastern coast of Australia.
二、 汉语里“东南西北”的先后顺序到英语里就变成了north，south，east，west；并由此有了下列中、英文表达上的差异。 东南方：southeast 西南方：southwest西北方：northwest东北方：northeast 如：天津位于北京东南120公里处。Tiajin is situated l20 km southeast of Beijing.
三. near, by, beside, at表示“在??附近”时的区别
1. near表示相对的近，实际距离可能还很远。如：Suzhou is near Shanghai.
2. by和beside都表示靠近，实际距离不可能很远，但beside比by更具体地表示出“在??旁边”的意思。如：He was sitting beside her.
3. at也有“在旁边”的意思，但多表示有目的的行为所处的位置，而by和beside仅表示位置关系。如： The students are sitting at the desks listening to the teacher.
Several students are sitting by / beside the window talking about a film.
四. at, in和on表示地点时的区别
1. at表示地点：
（1）用于指较小的地方。如： I shall wait for you at the station.
（2）用于门牌号码前。如： He lives at 115 Zhongshan Road.
2. in表示地点：
（1）用于指较大的地方。如： He lives in Shanghai.
（2）虽然是很小的地方，如果说话人住在那里，也可用in。商店、学校、机关等，若看作一个地点（point）用at，若看作一个场所（place）用in。如：
I met him at the post-office. I’m now working in the post-office.
3. on表示地点，一般指与面或线接触，意为“在??上；在??旁”。如：
The picture was hanging on the wall.New York is on the Hudson River.
五. above, over, on, up表示“在??上”之间的区别
1. above指“??上方”，表示相对高度，不一定在正上方，其反义词为below。如：We’re flying above the clouds.
2. over指“在??正上方”，表示垂直上方，其反义词为under。如： The bridge is over the river.
3. on表示“在??上面”，与物体表面接触，与beneath相对。如：
There is a map on the wall. The earth felt soft beneath our feet.
4. up表示动作的方向往上，反义词为down。如： Please hang the picture up. 十三陵位于北京西北50公里处。The Ming Tombs are located about 50 km to the northwest of Beijing.
