side 的用法及固定搭配

side

1.side前面用at,by,in和on都有,下面几点该注意:

(1)说“在某人的旁边”通常用by或at。例如:A little girl was sitting by(或at)my side. 但the side of前通常用by,很少用at,如A little girl was sitting by the side of her brother里用by,很少用at。

(2)说“在街、路或河的旁边(指一边)”通常用by,很少用at,如An old man was standing by the side of the street里用by,很少用at。说“在街、路或河的两边”通常用at或on。例如:There are shops at(或on)both sides of the street. 说“在街、路或河的这边、那边或另一边”通常用on。例如:There is a barber's shop on this side of the street. He lives on the opposite side of the road. 和His house is on the other side of the river.

(3)说“在某物的一边或两边”通常用on或at。例如:There is no tree on(或at)this side of the cottage. There is a chair on(或at)each side of the table. The picture hangs on(或at)the right side of the clock. 和You may leave your books on(或at)both sides of the typewriter.

(4)说“在某地的某区”用in。例如:There are two schools in our side of the country.

(5)下面各句里都用on,不用at,by或in:

  • Who is on my side? (1.谁在我的一边?2.谁赞助我?3.谁替我争?)
  • There are faults on both sides. (双方都有缺点。)
  • You may see it on every side(或on all sides). (你可以在每一边见到这个。)
  • He is on the right(或wrong)side of fifty. (他还不满[或已经过了]50岁。)
  • The grandfather on his mother's side is a Wallis. (他的外祖父是一个姓Wallis的人。)

2.on this side of(1.在…的这一边2.在…以前3.不满)里的of有时被省去。例如:There are no trees on this side the hills. She was interested in everything on this side the grave. (她对于今天的事物都发生兴趣。)有时省去on而不省去of。例如:She was interested in everything this side of the grave. 和Try to keep your letters this side of 500 words. (写信请至多不超过500个字。)this side of似乎不用作“在…的这一边”解。

3.He knows (on) which side his bread is buttered(他知道自己利益的所在)里的on可有可无。

4.take sides with和take the side of都作“赞助(某人)”或“袒护(某人)”解,注意第一种表达方式里没有the,用复数形式sides,用with,第二种表达方式里有the,用单数形式side,用of。

5.side在指问题的方面的时候后面习惯用to。例如:There are two sides to every question. (对于每一问题,总有两方面。)
