Early the next day,the plane neared the airport at Brussels.
翻译:第二天一早,飞机飞临布鲁塞尔的机场。
请问这里的near是动词吗?是接近的意思吗?
蒋老师:
是的,这里的 near 是动词,它用作及物动词有三个主要意思是:一是表示“靠近(某地方)”,二是表示“接近(某状态)”,三是表示“临近(某一时间)”。你的句子中的 near 属于其中的第一种用法。又如:
The land flattened out as we neared the coast. 我们接近海岸时,地势平坦了。
As we neared the summit, we were tiring fast. 接近山顶时,我们感到越来越累了。
She began to feel nervous as she neared the house. 她走近那所房子时开始觉得紧张。
The road dipped and rose again as it neared the top of Parker Mountain. 快到帕克山山顶的时候,山路突降,继而又突升。
