be located后面的介词用in还是on

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

be situated 后面的介词用 on 还是 in 取决于跟随其后的介词宾语是什么。
be situated 后面的介词用 on 还是 in 取决于跟随其后的介词宾语与介词的语义搭配和习惯表达方式。也就是说，它们的区别在于介词 in 和 on 的词义与后面介词宾语的语义搭配。一般而言，表达“在......之中”用 in，“在......之上”用 on。例：
The building is situated in the center of a small town.
The town is situated on a plateau high up among the mountains.
