| 词组 | earshot |
| 释义 | He is within earshot 通常是“他在可以听到的距离以内”。偶尔是“他在可以被听到的距离以内”。He is out of earshot 通常是“他在可以听到的距离以外”。偶尔是“他在可以被听到的距离以外”。比较下面每组里的两句： within earshot of 和 out of earshot of 也有两个不同的意思。例如： 上面所举的例子都指人的声音，He is within earshot 和 He is out of earshot 等句往往兼指可以听和可以被听到，只能发出声音而没有听觉的东西（例如钟和乐队）不可能 within earshot 或 out of earshot，如不可说： The bell is within earshot. The bell is within earshot of the class. The band is out of earshot. The band is out of earshot of the people outside the room. 但可以说： The class is within earshot of the bell. The people outside the room are out of earshot of the band. |
