round 和around的意思相近,但用法不完全相同.異同如下:around round 作介詞用的around與round通?？梢曰Q,只不過(guò)美語(yǔ)常用around,而英語(yǔ)常用round,例如：You can see the post office round/around that corner.(繞過(guò)那個(gè)彎你就可以看到郵局.但是一定要區(qū)別它們的不同之處：round可以用作形容詞、副詞、介詞、動(dòng)詞、名詞；而around只能用作副詞或介詞.例如：The post office is just round (around) the house (用作介詞).He has round face (用作形容詞).The river rounded the stones.(用作動(dòng)詞) 1.在表示"圓形運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn),回到原處","環(huán)繞","周圍"時(shí),英語(yǔ)用round,但美國(guó)人用around,例如:The earth revolves round(around)the sun(地球繞太陽(yáng)運(yùn)行).They sat round(around)the table.(他們圍著桌子而坐) New things are happening all round(around) us(新事物在我們周圍不斷發(fā)生) There is a small restaurant round(around)the corner(繞過(guò)街角有一家小餐館).2.美國(guó)人以及部分英國(guó)人也常用around表示"到處","無(wú)目的地","附近","左右"等較為模糊的概念,例如 The news that President Clinton was coming spread rapidly around the campus(Clinton 總統(tǒng)就要到來(lái)的消息很快地就在校園里傳開(kāi)啦) 3.around 還可以表示"不止一處","在許多地方","在不同地方".但在美國(guó)英語(yǔ)里,一般只用around,例如:The students are standing around(學(xué)生們?cè)诘教幷局? They are rushing around in New York.(他們?cè)贜ew York到處奔波).
