1.
在……附近;靠近
極常用

用來表示某人、某物或某地與另一人、物、地點的距離很近。

near the station
near my home

2.
接近……;快要到……
常用

表示時間、數量、程度或某個狀態已接近某個點,但通常尚未完全達到。

用法:可接數字或時間,例如「near midnight」。表示數量時,語氣通常比「almost」稍正式或更強調接近某個基準點。

near midnight

近的;附近的;接近的
常用

作形容詞時,表示位置、時間或關係上的距離不遠。

用法:放在名詞前時,常見於「the near future」這類固定搭配。說地點「在附近」時,口語中「nearby」也很常用。

4.
接近;靠近;臨近
常用
正式

作動詞時,表示某人或某物在距離、時間或進度上逐漸接近某個人、地點或階段。

用法:作動詞時通常直接接受詞,不用再加介系詞。可用於實際距離,也可用於日期、期限或數字。

near the deadline
near a record
near the station
as winter nears

5.
幾乎;差一點
較少用
正式

用法:一般日常對話中,表示「幾乎」通常優先使用「almost」。

near impossible
near perfect
nowhere near

學習提示

・本字作介系詞時,最重要的句型是「near+地點/人/物」,例如「near the station」。

・「near」表示距離接近;「next to」表示緊鄰;「nearby」則常單獨表示「在附近」。

・表示「幾乎」時,日常英文優先使用「almost」;本字的這個副詞用法較少見。

・作動詞的本字較正式,例如日期、節日或期限「臨近」時很常見。
