下面两句的区别:
We are a thousand miles from the city.
We are a thousand miles away from the city.
away在这里是副词还是形容词?
We are a thousand miles from the city.
We are a thousand miles away from the city.
上面两句意思相同,即其中的 away 可以省略。如下面一句摘自牛津词典,away被放在括号内,表示可以省略:
My house is ten minutes (away) from the shops. 从我家到商业区有十分钟的路程。
这里的 away 是副词,不是形容词。
