"opposite"是英语中一个多词性的常用词,核心含义围绕"相反"或"相对"展开,可作形容词、名词、介词甚至副词使用。无论是描述方向、观点对立,还是指代空间位置,它都能精准传达"对立"或"对面"的关系。
表示"相反的、对立的"或"对面的",用于描述事物间的对立关系或空间位置。
相反的:Her opinion is opposite to mine.(她的观点与我完全相反)
对面的:The bank is on the opposite side of the street.(银行在街对面)
常见搭配:
opposite direction(相反方向):Cars in the opposite direction all had headlights on.(对向车辆都开着大灯)
completely opposite(完全相反):Their personalities are completely opposite.(他们性格截然相反)
指"对立面、相反事物",可具体或抽象。
具体对立:Hot and cold are opposites.(热和冷是对立面)
抽象对立:Love and hate are often opposites in literature.(文学中爱与恨常是对立主题)
固定表达:the opposite of(……的反面),如the opposite of success(失败)。
表示"在……对面",直接连接地点。
The café is opposite the park.(咖啡馆在公园对面)
She sat opposite me during dinner.(晚餐时她坐在我对面)
⚠️ 注意:作介词时无需加to(如无需说opposite to the park)。
表示"在对面",单独使用或修饰动词。
They live opposite.(他们住在对面)
He stood opposite, smiling.(他站在对面微笑)
| 短语 | 含义 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| just the opposite | 正好相反 | I thought she’d be upset, but it was just the opposite.(我以为她会生气,结果正好相反) |
| opposite sex | 异性 | Teenagers often feel shy around the opposite sex.(青少年在异性面前常感害羞) |
| on the opposite side | 在另一边 | The restroom is on the opposite side of the building.(洗手间在楼的另一边) |
介词 vs. 形容词+to
介词:直接接名词,如opposite the bank
形容词:需加to,如opposite to the bank(较正式,日常少用)
反义词与对立概念
虽然opposite可泛指"反义词",但精确表达建议用antonym(如"hot的反义词是cold")。
从描述街对面的商店,到辩论中对立的观点,"opposite"用简洁的形式承载了丰富的对立关系。下次想说"正好相反"时,不妨试试That’s the opposite of what I meant!——简单却精准的表达,正是它的魅力所在。
