“Lie somewhere”、“situated1 somewhere”、“located somewhere” 和 “be somewhere”都可以用来引出位置,意思是 “位于”。我们下面就来介绍它们各自的用法。
 
先说 “lie somewhere”。我们用 “something lies somewhere” 来谈论地点、位置,意思是 “坐落于”。注意,“lie” 是动词,所以会根据句子的主语和时态而变化。听两个例句。
 
Examples
The post office lies at the end of the street.
(邮局位于街道尽头。)
 
The houses lie in the middle of the countryside, a long way from the city.
(这些房子坐落于乡村的中间,离城市很远。)
 
接下来,来看看比 “lie” 更正式的 “situated”。“Situated” 用来说明事物的确切位置,意思也是 “坐落于”。与特定的副词搭配使用时,起到补充说明的作用。比如:“conveniently situated(位置方便)”。听三个例句。
 
Examples
There's a cafe situated at the north end of the park.
(公园北端有一家咖啡馆。)
 
You'll find the milk situated at the back of the shop, next to the bread.
(你可以在商店的尽里头找到牛奶,就在面包旁边。)
 
The office is conveniently situated next to the railway station.
(办公室就位于火车站旁边,很方便。)
 
除了引出事物的实际位置以外,“situated” 还可以表示 “处于某种境地”。请听例句。
 
Example
Because of our huge profits, our business is well situated to expand globally.
(由于利润丰厚,我们的业务处于向全球扩展的有利状况。)
 
“Located” 和 “situated” 的意思非常相近,在很多情况下可以互换使用。“Located” 加上相应的介词,用来说明事物的相对位置。比如:“be located in/on/by/between”;“be located at” 引出的是事物的具体地点。来听四个例句。
 
Examples
The hotel is located in the city centre.
(这家旅馆位于市中心。)
 
The shop is located between the station and the town hall.
(这家商店位于车站和市政厅之间。)
 
Our house is located by the motorway2 so it's quite noisy.
(我们的房子位于高速公路旁,所以噪音很大。)
 
The cafe is located at the entrance to the park.
(这家咖啡店位于公园入口处。)
 
补充一点,“located” 也可以和副词搭配,用来补充详细的位置信息。
 
Examples
The hospital is perfectly3 located for the residents of the town.
(这家医院的位置非常适合这座城镇的居民。)
 
The car park is centrally located and a perfect place to park if you're going shopping.
(停车场位于市中心,是购物时停车的绝佳地点。)
 
在描述人或事物的方位时,其实可以直接使用系动词 “be”,并加上表示位置的词语,意思是 “在,位于”。我们来听五个例句。
 
Examples
Where are you? I'm at the north entrance of the park.
(你在哪里?我在公园的北口。)
 
Our coats are in the wardrobe.
(我们的大衣在衣柜里。)
 
The post office is at the end of the street.
(邮局位于街道尽头。)
 
The office is next to the railway station.
(办公室就在火车站旁边。)
 
The hotel is in the city centre.
(这家旅馆在市中心。)
 
上面我们讲解了四个用来描述位置的说法。动词 “lie” 的意思是 “位于、坐落于”,“situated” 的意思相同,但更正式。“Located” 常搭配 “by、on、in、between” 等介词使用,起到补充说明相对位置的作用。我们也可以直接用系动词 “be” 来说明人或事物的方位。
