around 和 round 的区别:
作介词用的around与round通常可以互换,只不过美语常用around,而英语常用round,例如:
You can see the post office round/around that corner. (绕过那个弯你就可以看到邮局)
但是一定要区别它们的不同之处:round可以用作形容词、副词、介词、动词、名词;而around只能用作副词或介词。例如:
The post office is just round (around) the house (用作介词)
He has round face. (用作形容词)
The river rounded the stones. (用作动词)
1.在表示"圆形运转,回到原处","环绕,"周围"时,英语用round,但美国人用around,例如:
The earth revolves round(around)the sun. (地球绕太阳运行)
They sat round(around)the table. (他们围着桌子而坐)
New things are happening all round(around) us. (新事物在我们周围不断发生)
There is a small restaurant round(around)the corner. (绕过街角有一家小餐馆)
2. 美国人以及部分英国人也常用around表示"到处","无目的地","附近","左右"等较为模糊的概念, 例如:
The news that President Clinton was coming spread rapidly around the campus. (Clinton总统就要到来的消息很快地就在校园里传开啦)
3.around 还可以表示"不止一处","在许多地方","在不同地方",但在美国英语里,一般只用around, 例如:
The students are standing around(学生们在到处站着)
They are rushing around in New York. (他们在New York到处奔波)
