常见错误

❌ 错误:The two buildings are conterminous to each other.
✓ 正确:The two buildings are conterminous with each other.

错误在于使用了 'to',而正确介词应为 'with'。conterminous 通常与 'with' 搭配表示相接关系,'to' 在此语境中不适用,可能引起混淆。

❌ 错误:This area is conterminous, meaning it is very large.
✓ 正确:This area is conterminous with the forest, meaning they share a boundary.

错误在于将 conterminous 误解为描述大小,而它实际指边界相接。正确用法应明确指定与何物相接,以避免歧义,确保准确传达空间关系。

adjacent 更通用,指两个事物在空间上靠近或相邻,但不一定强调有共同边界;conterminous 特指有明确共同边界或相接,常用于正式或精确描述。

contiguous

contiguous 与 conterminous 非常相似,都指相接或有共同边界,但 contiguous 更常用,范围更广,可指连续或未中断;conterminous 有时更强调在共同边界内或法律上的精确相邻。
