看看中国地图以及除中国外的其他国家、岛屿和海洋的名字。

beyond在本句中为介词,意为“在……的那边,远于;超出;除……之外。”如:

2.The East China Sea lies to the east of Zhejiang Province.

如:

Japan is to the east of China.

Japan lies to the east of China.

Japan lies east of China.

②有三个介词可分别表示方位:to,in,on。to表示在另一个地点的外部,译成“在…以…,在……面”;in表示范围内;on表示接壤。例如:

Mexico is in the south of North America.

墨西哥位于北美的南部。

注意:表示某一山脉或界线,以东、以西、以南、以北必须用to。on还可表示“在……河畔”。

Nanjing lies on the Changjiang River. 南京位于长江之滨。

Guangdong lies to the south of Hubei. 广东在湖北以南。

Guangdong lies on the south of Hunan. 广东在湖南以南。(与湖南接壤)

3.Where is your great-grand father on your father’s side from?

你父亲的曾祖父是哪里人?

①on your father’s side意为“父亲的,你父亲的”。side在此意为“血统,世系,家系”。如:
