常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Beside"?Which "Beside" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×Besides the point, there are other issues.

Beside the point, there are other issues.

混淆 'beside' 與 'besides'。'Beside' 表示位置上的『在...旁邊』,而 'besides' 表示『除了...之外(還有)』或『此外』。此處意指『在論點旁邊』,應使用 'beside'。

×The lamp is beside of the bed.

The lamp is beside the bed.

'Beside' 本身已是介系詞,意為『在...旁邊』,後面直接接名詞,不需再加 'of'。這是受其他片語如 'because of' 或 'in front of' 影響而產生的錯誤。

×My house is beside the city center. (意指房子在市中心區域內)

My house is near the city center.

誤用 'beside' 表示『在...附近』。'Beside' 強調緊鄰、並排的具體位置(如左右相鄰),而 'near' 或 'close to' 才表示『在...附近』的較寬泛概念。若房子並非緊貼著市中心建築物,應用 'near'。

×I was so angry, I was beside myself.

I was so angry, I was beside myself.

此句文法正確,但學習者常不理解 'beside oneself' 是固定片語,意為『情緒失控、極度(憤怒、興奮等)』,並非字面上的『在自己旁邊』。需特別記憶此慣用語。

×Beside his earlier work, this new novel is not very good.

Compared to his earlier work, this new novel is not very good.

誤用 'beside' 來表示『與...相比』。雖然 'beside' 在文學或正式文體中偶爾可表示『與...相比』(如 pale beside),但在大多數日常比較情境中,應使用 'compared to/with'。
