Question

close和near的区别有哪些？

Answer 1

1、意思不同

near表示“在……附近”

There is a theatre near his home. 他家附近有一家剧院。

next to 紧邻;在…近旁;仅次于;紧接

She sat down next to him on the sofa.她紧挨着他在沙发上坐下了。

near to没有这样的表达

2、距离不同

near多指空间、时间上的距离；next to表示“紧靠……的旁边” 三个中间距离最近，一般指就在xx旁边的那个物体。

There is a post office near No. 1 Middle School. 第一中学附近有一所邮局。

The white building next to the post office is a new hospital.邮局隔壁那幢白色的楼房是新医院。

3、方位不同

Near（与某个人或事物距离很短）其实是表示了一个类似圆形的范围。

There is a post office near this building.（这栋楼附近有个邮局）

next to是不强调方位，任意。强调紧靠着。

Cleanliness is next to godliness. 清洁是一种美德。
