范围之外）e.g. There is a car in front of the house. 在
房子前一辆小汽车。【
辨析】in the front of “在……前面”（在某范围之内）e.g. There is a table in the front of the classroom.在教
室的前面有一张桌子。3. next to 意为“
紧靠着；紧挨着；贴近” e.g. The little boy is next to his mother. 小男孩紧挨着
他的母亲。【
辨析】next to与near的区别从空间讲near 只
表示“在……附近”；而next to有“紧挨着”之意；next to比near靠的更近。如：Peter sits next to Mike. 彼
特紧挨着迈克坐。 Peter sits near Tom. 彼
特坐在汤姆附近。4. How can I help you? 需
要我帮忙吗？表
示向他人伸出援手，主动提出帮助的意思，此句还可说成：How can I help you? 或How may I help you? 类似

正式一些。）英语语言中
致谢及应答的文化特点致谢
是世界各国人民都遵循的礼仪规范。在英美等英语国家里，人们对他人给予的巨大帮助和举手之劳的小事都要表达谢意（
扶门、指路、找钱、回答询问、传递东西、别人应邀参加了你的宴请，别人为你让路，别人称赞你，别人给你来信）致谢
有口头感谢和书面感谢两种形式，经常使用的套语是Thank you.由于感谢的程度不同，衍生出若干变体，Thank you very much. Thank you very much indeed, Thanks. Many thanks. Thanks a lot. Thank you ever so much. I really don’t know how to thank you enough.It’s very kind/nice of you to…You are certainly most helpful.但
要注意表达谢意时的言辞适度，选词得体性很重要。一句能表达的不要用两句，一般的感谢不要夸大为特别的感谢，言辞
过分会使被感谢的一方不自在，还会给人留下不真诚的印象。Step 4.Grammar focus and revision1. 复
