| 释义 |
side ， at the ～ of ： by the ～ of-942
这两个短语介词要加以区别： at the side of 作“在……旁边”讲，是指位置；而 by the side of 则是“在…靠近”的意思，相当于 near to 。
比较：
The child stood at the side of his mother. 这孩子站在他母亲的旁边。（不是站在前边，也不是站在后边，而是站在他母亲的旁边。）
The child stood by the side of his mother. 这孩子站在靠近他母亲的地方。（ = near to his mother's side ）
