辨析:on earth, on the earth 和 in the earth
on earth 有两个意思:
1.“在世界上”,相当于in the world。
2.“究竟,到底;一点也,全然”,相当于 at all 的意思和用法,这时它常用于疑
1).Mary couldn't understand what on earth the teacher meant.
2).I feel like nothing on earth.
on the earth 的意思是“在地球上”,用作地点状语或连系动词be的表语。
1).It is said that there are probably over one million living creatures on the earth.
2).It is supposed at the present that human beings can only live on the earth.
in the earth 尽管可译成“在世界上”,实际上它含有“在地下”的意味。因此,指世界上空间
1).The genie said he would show all the treasure in the earth to the man who would set
2).There is much petroleum in the earth.
