用法讲解

adv. (副词)
  1. around的基本意思是“在周围,在附近”“到处,四周”,指地理位置。
  2. around作“大约”解时，主要用于数字前，有时也用于表示时间的短语前。
  3. around作“恢复过来”解时主要用于健康状况或意识方面。
  4. around常用在动词后面作状语，还可用作表语或置于名词后作定语。作“恢复过来”解时还常用作宾语补足语。
  5. around作“流通着的；可利用的”“见过世面的；阅历广的；经验丰富的”解时多用于口语，一般用于完成时中。
  6. around用作副词时不用于比较等级。
  1. around和round相似，均作副词和介词用。美国人习惯用around，如下列各例句：

    He turned around.Like the moon, the artificial satellites move around the earth.
    英国人习惯用round，如上面的前三个例句，他们习惯把around改成round，而最后一句，则改成about。

  2. around有一些固定的搭配，如around and about，around and above，all around等。而有时不可用around，如winter comes around，all the year around，win one around等；
  3. round与around的比较：round常指在圈内或者曲线上的移动或定位。英国人还常用round作“去到一个地方的每个部分”或“分东西给组里的每个人”。而around则指不明确的，模糊的移动或定位。

    She walked round the car and looked at the wheels.

    We walked round the old part of the town.
    Could you pass the cups round, please?

    The children were running around/about everywhere.

  • around多用于非正式场合，常见于美国英语。
