next to
音标：[nekst tu:]
几乎
-
close/ near/ nearby/ next to
Ⅰ. close “接近的，靠近”；还有“亲密的，密切的”含义，用法与near 类似，可指距离上、时间上或次序上紧接。也可用于引申含义，表关系或感情上的“亲近的”，可用作形容词或副词。如：
① Mother’s Day is close (=near) . 母亲节快到了。
② They are sitting quite close(=near) to each other. 他们坐得很靠近。
③ She and I are close friends.她和我是亲密的朋友。
[注]：near 当作形容词时，与close含义和用法相同，表距离近，都用be near / close to +地点。 但close 只能作形容词，而near 还可作介词使用，此时near不可再与to搭配。如：
①I live near (=close to) the factory.
Ⅱ. nearby 主要指空间上的附近，一般指较大范围。可用作形容词、副词或介词。
