back to back 背靠背

eye to eye 看法完全一致

face to face 面对面地

shoulder to shoulder 肩并肩

hand in hand 手拉手

注意,尽管表示“背靠背”“面对面”“肩并肩”等均用的是介词to,但表示“手拉手”却要用in。

1. back to back 背靠背,背对背

另外,该短语还可表示“接连地”“接二连三地”。如:

2. eye to eye 看法完全一致,有相同的看法

该短语通常与动词see连用,且主要用于否定句。如:

We didn’t exactly see eye to eye. 我们的观点并非完全一致。

若表示“与……面对面”,后接介词with。如:

The burglar turned the corner and found himself face to face with a policeman. 盗贼一拐弯面对面地碰上个警察。

该短语还引申指“同心协力地”。如:

该短语也可用连字符连成一个词。如:

5. hand in hand 手拉手地

They walked along the cliff top hand in hand. 他们手拉手在悬崖上行进。

该短语还引申指“密切相关地”“同时并进地”。如:

Hand in hand with the police inquiries the government has also announced a full investigation. 在警方调查的同时,政府也宣布要展开彻查。

尤其注意它与动词go的搭配使用。如:
