同近义词辨析

under, below, underneath, beneath

这组词都有“在……下面”的意思，其区别是：

under普通用词，与over相对，指在某物的正下方，含垂直在下的意思。

below指位置低于某物或在某物下方，但不一定在正下方，所指范围较宽。

underneath书面口语均用，也常与beneath和under换用，但更含遮蔽的意味。

beneath书面用词，指紧挨……之下，其反义词是on。

under, below, beneath

under表示“在……正下方”与over相对。

below表示“在下面，低于”，与above相对。

beneath 表示同表面接触，与on 相对。
