这三个词都有指“背后”的意思,那么他们之间的在用法上的区别在什么地方呢?我今天就给你们找一下它们的区别:
1. back
back 背面的,后面,可名词可形容词,是指某物距离正面最远的一部分。
例句:
The entrance is at the back of the building.
入口在这座楼的背面。
I left my suitcase in the back of her car.
我把手提箱落在她车的后备箱了。
They all rushed forward but I kept back.
他们都向前冲去,但我仍留在后面。
我猜你接触到rear是因为看了英文版朱自清的《背影》吗?
《背影》:The View from the Rear
开头第一句:
“我与父亲不相见已二年余了,我最不能忘记的是他的背影。”
翻译是这样的:
It has been two years and more since I saw my father. My most vivid memory of him is a view of him from the rear.
2. rear
rear 指某物的背面,可作名词、形容词、副词。
固搭
front and rear 在前后
rear view后视图
rear view mirror后视镜
rear seat后座;后座椅
例句:
The garden is at the rear of the building.
花园在这座楼的背面。
The enemy rear is weakly defended.
敌人后方空虚。
The front and rear of the building.
建筑的前方和后方。
很多时候,rear和back都可以互换使用,不过back会更常用一些。
当谈论到身体部位时,back指的是从肩膀到腰这段脊柱。
而rear特指臀部bottom,还有behind也是,作名词的时候指腚,也就是屁股。下面说说behind吧。
3. behind
behind通常用在方位描述,指"在某物的后面",是介词。
例句:
He sat behind me.
他坐在我后面。
There is a garden behind the house.
房子后面有一个花园。
I parked my purple car behind the house.
我把紫车停在了房子后面。
Who is that behind you?
谁站在你身后?
behind 也作为副词,在背后。用来表示"离开某个特定地点之前"或者"继某人之后"。
常用短语:
be behind with(或in) 不能如期完成,拖延;拖欠
come from behind 迎头赶上
drop behind 落在…之后;落后,落伍
fall behind 落在(…)后面= lag behind
例句:
The lame child lagged far behind.
那个跛足的孩子远远掉在后面。
After the wedding a few people stayed behind to clean up.
婚礼后有几个人留下來清扫会场。
