核心畫面

One way to picture alongside: two things lying side by side, running the same way — a boat pulled up against the dock. From that parallel position English gets two more ideas: doing something together with someone, and holding two things next to each other to see how they measure up.

可以想成 alongside 是兩樣東西並排、朝著同一個方向躺著——像小船靠上碼頭那樣。從這個「並排」的位置,英文再更多收起可以想成 alongside 是兩樣東西並排、朝著同一個方向躺著——像小船靠上碼頭那樣。從這個「並排」的位置,英文再長出兩層意思:跟某人一起做事,以及把兩樣東西擺在一起看它們高下如何。

From the picture

一起做事

從位置移到行動:兩個人並肩站著,做的是同一件事,所以這個字用來講合作與同時進行。

together with · r · C1

Together with someone or something, at the same time or in the same place.

一起/並肩

Also in this word

next to · r · C1
