核心问题
near 与 near to 有何区别?
词典解答
当表示空间上的接近时, near 与 near to 可任意选用。例如: 1. She was sitting near (to) me. (CGEL) 她坐在我的附近。
-
She was sitting nearer (to)/nearest (to) me. (CGEL) 她坐得离我近一些/离我最近。但是，当表示非空间的接近，而作“几乎”(nearly)解时，则 to 是不可省略的，即必须用 near to。例如：
-
He is near to (being) mad. (CGEL) 他几乎疯了。
-
I came very near to hitting him. (PEU) 我几乎要撞到他。
-
She came near to killing him. 她几乎杀了他。
