The woman stood at the window. she stood___ it.
A. in
front
这是《新概念英语》第2册 第57课的练习,答案是B,但为什么不能选D呢?
解释:
ahead of和in front of均可表示“在…前面”,指具体的或比喻的空间时,两者均可使用;指时间时,只可使用ahead of。
《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》
ahead of: prep. 1. further forward in space or time than sb./ sth.; in front of sb./sth(时间/空间)在……前面。例如:
Three boys were ahead of us. 有三个小伙子在我们前面。
Ahead of us lay ten days of intensive training. 我们还要进行十天的强化训练。
in front of: prep. 1. in a position that is further forward that sb./sth., but not very far away 在……前面。例如:
The bus stops right in front of our house. 公共汽车就停在我们的房子前面。
综上所述,上题B和D都是正确的。
