摘要
汉语的"远亲不如近邻",英语可以译为A distant relative is not as helpful as a nearneighbour,或 A near neighbour means morethan a distant relative。"近"表示距离短,指靠近、邻近、附近或临近,英语的对应词有 near(to),close(to),near-by,next(to),adjacent,neighbouring 等。例如:①There is a bus stop near/close to ourschool.我们学校附近有个公共汽车站。②It's convenient living so near/close tothe subway station.住得离地铁站那么近,是很方便的。
