opposite

有些英语著作是这样来解释形容词 opposite 的这两种不同的位置的：

当 opposite 表示“面对着说话人或被谈论的人”时，充当定语的 opposite 应当放在被修饰的名词之后，在其他场合，例如被修饰的名词是一对互相面对或者相反的事物中的一个，则应当放在被修饰的名词之前。请对比：

1. She kept watch on the door opposite. (Galsworthy) 她监视着对面的门。

2. Sad were the lights in the houses opposite. (Mansfield) 对面房子的灯光暗淡。

3. The young man opposite had long since disappeared. (Mansfield) 对面的年青人已经消失很长时间了。

4. She hurried away in the opposite direction. (Dreiser) 她急匆匆地向相反方向走去。

5. Bill and Mary had opposite ideas about the weather. (AOT) 比尔和玛丽对天气存在着相反的看法。

6. I think the picture would look better on the opposite wall. (PEU) 我认为, 这张画要是挂在对面的墙上看起来会更好一些。

7. There was a garden on the opposite side of the street. (Mansfield) 街的对面有座花园。
