一般in表示在某个空间内,而inside还有掩盖、受保护的意思.
inside是语气很强的介词.它常用来强调某 人或某事所在地含有某种特殊情况,比如:Inside the castle we'll be safe from the enemy.在上句中,说话人可能想到的是城堡上厚厚的城墙,或城堡是一个非常坚固的地方.当然,某人 也能把一个相当普通的地方说成是一个牢不可破 的堡垒,比如:He barricaded himself inside the house and started firing at the police.
有时说话人想强调某个地方的空间非常狭窄,比如:It was hot and stuffy inside the prison cell.
inside也可用于与外面的事情(something outside) 作对比:It was quite hot outside the cave but when we were inside,we started to shiver.
除需要特别强调以外,通常都用in.例如,用于建筑物或建筑物内的房间:in the house,in the office; 用于有围栏或围墙的地方:in the garden,in the courtyard,in the park; 用于交通工具:in the train,in the car,in the bus; 用于江河湖海:in teh sea,in the river,in teh water.还可用于饮料,如:There's a fly in my lemonade.
尽管人们在 There may be beetles in the lawn 或in the carpet中用in,但是在One sits on the lawn或on the carpet中却要用on.
当谈到服装时,用in和用inside在句子意思 上就出现了有趣的区别.通常用in.
但是,人穿着衣裳感到不舒适或感到受到约束(如 同身处囹圄),这时用inside 就会非常生动有效地 表达此种感觉,例如:
The little girl felt like a prisoner inside her starched new dress.Mary felt like a packaged chicken inside her corsets.
当然,有时用in和inside都不合适,例如:She was kept in/inside the walls of the prison.
此句的意思是她和水泥一起被填进了墙里.这种 情况可能有,但是不会经常出现.
