here 和 there 雖為副詞,但它們卻可以與某些介詞搭配,其中最典型的就是 in here 和 in there.
一、in here
in here 和here含義有所不同：in here 指“在這里面”,here 僅表示“在這兒”.
It is very hot here.這里很熱.（可能指一個(gè)較大的范圍）
It is very hot in here.這里面很熱.（可能指一個(gè)較小的范圍,尤其指一個(gè)相對(duì)封閉的范圍）
根據(jù)語(yǔ)意的需要,我們也可以說(shuō) around here（在這附近,在這周?chē)?over here（到這邊來(lái)）等.如：
Methane gas does collect in the mines around here.周?chē)牡V井里的確有沼氣聚積.
The majority of people around here are decent people.這里的大多數(shù)人都很正派.
Diana says you told her to come over here.戴安娜說(shuō)是你讓她到這兒來(lái)的.
Come over here and I’ll tell you a secret.你如到這兒來(lái),我就告訴你一個(gè)秘密.
Don’t stay there in the corner by yourself.Come over here and talk to us.不要獨(dú)自呆在角落里.過(guò)來(lái)跟我們聊聊吧.
但是,英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣上不能說(shuō) at here.
二、in there
in there與 in here 的用法差不多,意思指“在那兒里面”（盡管在具體翻譯時(shí)不一定這樣表達(dá),但它的意思通常應(yīng)這樣理解）.如：
Get back in there,or you'll be sorry.滾回那邊去,否則你會(huì)后悔的.
There's room in there for a family of five.那兒能住下五口之家.
Every aircraft in there has sustained some damage.那里的每架飛機(jī)都受到了一些損壞.
She nodded towards the drawing room.“He's in there.” 她朝客廳方向揚(yáng)了揚(yáng)頭說(shuō)：“他在那里面.”
There's room in there for a family of five.那兒能住下五口之家.
