一.across：adv. 橫過，穿過，朝向特定的方向，在對(duì)面，橫寫地 prep. 橫過，穿過，在對(duì)面，在(身體某部位)上，在…各處

【錯(cuò)句舉例與錯(cuò)句分析】

糾正：When the green light is on, you're allowed to cross the road.

翻譯：當(dāng)燈變綠的時(shí)候，你被允許過馬路。

分析：across屬于副詞和介詞，不可作為動(dòng)詞去表示穿過的意思。

【例句用法】

【詞義辨析】

1.across，along，over，through

across: 指“從……的一邊到另一邊”，強(qiáng)調(diào)橫過，多與動(dòng)態(tài)動(dòng)詞連用。

along: 指沿著一條直線在水平方向上運(yùn)動(dòng)。一般表動(dòng)態(tài)，有時(shí)也與靜態(tài)動(dòng)詞連用。

over: 常和動(dòng)態(tài)動(dòng)詞連用，指“從……上面越過”或“橫越”;表靜態(tài)時(shí)，指“在彼處”。

through: 側(cè)重從一端穿到另一端。

2.across，through，cross

across: 主要表示從某物的表面“橫過”，涉及“面”的概念。

老鼠過街，人人喊打。

through: 則表示從某個(gè)空間“穿過”，涉及“體”的概念。

cross: across和cross在拼寫上僅差一字之微，故很易混淆。它們的區(qū)別在于詞性和使用場(chǎng)合有所不同。across是介詞;cross是動(dòng)詞。

He has crossed the border into another territory.

他已越過邊界進(jìn)入別國的領(lǐng)土。

coax: 指用好話善意或耐心勸誘、哄騙某人做某事。
