The books were scattered about the floor. 书扔在地板上到处都是。
请问上面一句中的 about the floor 可以换成 around the floor 吗?两者有区别吗?谢谢!
around 作介词可表“四处;在…周围”;about作介词可表“到处,在(一定范围内的)各处,在…各方”。因此,你句中的的 about the floor 可以换成 around the floor。又如:
A dozen cartons of books had been overturned and strewn about the floor. 十几个装书的纸箱都被倒空,乱扔了一地。
We ended up sleeping around the floor after drinking. 我们喝完酒最后都在地板上东倒西歪地睡了。
