farandole什么意思（farandnear可不是远和近）

在一些英语新闻或者报纸上会看到“far and near”这样一个词语，大家都知道 “far”指的是“远处”，“near”指的是“近处”，那么“far and near”又指的是哪里？其实很好理解，远处和近处，说明来自于各个地方，也就是“四面八方”。因此“far and near”是“到处、四面八方”的意思。同样的意思也常用“far and wide”表达。

I was so touched that family and friends came from far and near to attend my 60th birthday party.

我的家人和朋友从四面八方赶来参加我的60岁生日派对，我非常感动。

People came from far and wide when they heard we were offering free eggs today.

当听说我们今天提供免费的鸡蛋时，人们从四面八方赶了过来。

Far不仅可以表示距离上的“远”，还可以表示程度深，常见与一些英语习语中。

as far as sb know 据某人所知

指一个人对于一件事情的了解程度。

As far as we know, the meeting has been pushed to 9:30.

据我们所知，会议已经被推迟到了9点半。

as far as sb/sth is concerned就某人/某物而言

主要分为两种情况，一种是描述某个人或事的情况，另一种是指在某人的观点中去看待问题。

As far as dinner is concerned, it's been pushed to 20:00, so no need to rush.

就晚餐而言，已经推迟到晚上8点了，所以不用着急。

As far as I'm concerned, I don't like to cook by myself.

就我而言，我不喜欢自做饭。

far from it 完全相反；远非如此

和“not at all”的意思比较相近，同样指“完全不是这样，完全相反”。
