The Changjiang River is the third longest river in the world.
India is the second most populous country of the world.
同样的句型和结构,为什么一个是in the world, 一个却是of the world ?含义理解上有什么不同吗?
第二句是错误的,应该改为in the world.
请看thefreedictionary引用柯林斯惯用法词典的解释
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/of 在最高级后表示范围使用in
You use in, rather than 'of', after superlatives. For example, you talk about 'the tallest building in Europe'.
Don't say 'the tallest building of Europe'.
These are the biggest lizards in the world.
