人教版七年级下册课文中有一句: John: Oh, OK. I know where that is. There's a new hotel
on the corner.
印象中一般用at the corner(表示把拐角处看做一个点),用in the corner(在角落里面),on the corner到底表示什么含义呢?
先看看在网上搜索的英美人士的观点:
1.
'At' tends to refer to a location; 'on' tends to refer to a position. If the position is in the location, we can use either. 'At the corner' and 'on the corner' are sometimes/often interchangeable. We usually stand 'on' the corner, not 'at' the corner. But we meet 'at the corner' (location) or 'on the corner' (position).
