Listen and fill
1. The picture is above the bed. 图画在床的上方。
above意为“在……之上”，强调一种空间的上方，物体一般不接触；而on则表示二者的紧密接触；over也有“在……之上”的意思，但它常强调一种上下的垂直关系，二者也不接触。above 与below是一对反义词。
例如：
There’s a lamp over the table.  桌子上方有盏灯。（强调上下垂直）
Language Points
We are flying above the clouds. 我们飞行在云层之上。
There is a dog under the tree. 树底下有只狗。
I write my name below the line. 我把名字写在线的下方。
2. The lamp is beside the bed. 台灯在床的旁边。
【要点剖析】①beside是介词，意为“在……旁边”，表示空间位置。
例如：I like to live beside the sea. 我喜欢住在海边。
② beside的同义词是by或at。例如：
Miss Li is sitting at/beside the table.  李女士正坐在桌子旁边。
【联想发散】beside与besides外形极为相似，二者在词性上和意思上有很大差别。beside是介词，意为“在……旁边”，besides是副词，意为“此外，而且，再者”。试比较：
Jenny will come to the party besides Li Ming.                             除了李明，詹妮也来参加晚会。
Uncle David is sitting beside the driver.
大卫叔叔正坐在司机旁边。
