爱华网老师让孩子默写单词，在......旁边，女儿写的near，老师批错误，说应该是beside，女儿非常纳闷，问我：“妈妈，我认为也对啊！”，是啊，如果单从字面意思解释应该也是对的，不过，不用争论对错，两个单词肯定有区别的，赶快把两个单词意思的区别找出来吧，让女儿后期作为参考。
1.near作形容词。(1)表示"邻近的,接近的"。如：a neartranslation接近原文的翻译。(2)也可以表示"亲密的,近亲的"。如：He is mynear friend. 他是我最好的朋友。
2. near可以用作介词。 意为："在......附近"或"接近,近"如：There's abakery near our house. 在我家附近有一个面包店。It is near dinner time. 快到吃饭的时间了。
BESIDE 的用法
Besides, there are very few skilled stone workers left after thewar years. =Also, there are very few skilled stone workers that areleft after the war years. 此外，战争年代过后，技术熟练的石匠以所剩无几。
句中的besides是副词，作“还有，而且”解，通常置于句首。
例如： it’s too late togo to the concert. Besides, it’s raining. I don’t want to go out now. besides, I’m feeling tired. The task is difficult; besides,time is limited. Besides还可以用作介词，意思是“除…之外”，“还有…”
例如， There arefive other room besides these two. Besides the violin, Jack alsoplays the piano. To learn English, listening is also importantbesides reading.
不要把besides同beside是介词，作“在……旁边”（next to）解，例如： He is sittingbeside the driver. He lives in a town beside a lake.
