on the street /in the street

  基本上二者都可以用,不用客氣,但除了以下幾種特定的用法:

  1)專指「在戶外」時就要用in the street . 如 It is dangerous to be in the street after dark . 醉臥街頭時, 當流浪兒等當然是在戶外,所以也是用in,而交通工具也是在戶外走,所以也是用in

 2)當做在能力上「難以相比」時,也是用in,如in the same street .如:  Her clothes are not in the same street as yours .

 3)當指妓女在街上討生活時,就要用 on the street .

 4)專指街的地面時,就要用on,如丟紙屑,還有走在街面上時也用on

 5)廣為人知時,也是用on,如: Sue put it on the street, and now everyone knows .

 6)專指華爾街日報時,就要用on,如: I heard on the Street today that bank stocks are headed up.

 7)指打折後的最低價,也是用on,如: It lists at $2200 and can be got  for about $1600 on the street .

 

有錯請指正,謝謝!
