in/on the street

【问】1. He lived in Baker Street.

2. He lived on Baker Street.

请问与street连用时用介词in正确，还是用介词on正确?

【答】 英国英语用介词in，美国英语用介词on。与avenue连用时亦是如此。

1. We don't usually embrace friends in the street. (EED)

我们通常不在街上拥抱朋友。

2. I lived out on Larrie Street. (Dreiser)

我曾住在拉瑞街。

但是，只能说on the pavement，on the sidewalk(在人行道上)。
