词语用法

1. opposite作形容词表示“对面的”时，后常加介词to，不过句子中的to常被省略。

   我住在邮局的对面。

   My view is opposite to/from yours.
   我的看法和你的相反。

3. opposite后有时可加of。

   My view is the very opposite of yours.
   我的想法和你的非常相反。

4. 当opposite表示“对面的”时，在句子中一般放在被修饰的名字的后面，作后置定语。有时，opposite也可放在被修饰名词的前面，作前置定语。

   对面的房子是旧的。

5. contrary，converse和opposite的区别：以句子All men are mortal（所有人都是凡人。）为例，该句子的contrary是Not all men are mortal.（不是所有的人都是凡人。）该句子的converse是All mortal beings are men.（所有的凡人都是人。）而该句子的opposite则是No men are mortal.（没有人是凡人。）contrary包含了opposite，作为它的极端形式。

adv. (副词)

1. opposite用作副词时意思是“在对面”,在句中多用作状语。

3. opposite无比较级和最高级。

n. (名词)

1. opposite用作名词时意思是“对立面,对立物,相反的人或事物”,是可数名词,通常与of连用。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

opposite, contrary

• 这两个词的共同意思是“相反的”。其区别在于：
• 1.opposite指位置、方向、性质、意义等对立、相反,不一定有对抗的意味,强调分离。
• 2.contrary指“对立的”,常有对抗的含义,强调敌对矛盾和冲突。例如:
• I am of a contrary opinion.我有相反的意见。

• 这些形容词均含“相反的、对立的”之意。
• opposite指位置、方向、行动或想法等完全相反。
• contrary一般指与某种主张、看法或行为等正好相反，隐含否定一方并不意味着肯定另一方的意味。
• adverse通常指违害利益的、无生命的势力或条件等，侧重分歧。
• reverse指朝相反方向的或反面(背面)的。
• converse指在方向、行动或意见上相反的。
