reverse is mostly used in more formal contexts than opposite and has a narrower range of collocates. opposite can describe both the nature of sth or its direction, in either a physical or abstract sense. reverse only describes the direction of sth, usually in a physical sense. when two people or things travel in opposite directions they can either start from the same place and move away from each other, or start from different places and travel towards each other. if you travel in the reverse direction you usually travel over the same ground, but start from the other end.与 opposite 相比，reverse 主要用于较正式的语境，搭配词的范围较窄。opposite 既可描述事物的性质，也可描述方向，表示实际或抽象的意义均可。reverse 只描述事物的方向，通常表示实际意义。travel in opposite directions 既可指两个人或物体从同一地点背向而行，也可指从不同地点相向而行。travel in the reverse direction 通常指走同一条路，但从另一端出发◆i watched them leave and then drove off in the opposite direction.我目送他们离开，然后开车向相反的方向驶去。◆he hit a truck travelling in the opposite direction.他撞上了一辆迎面驶来的卡车。◆one year later she made the same journey in the reverse direction.一年以后她从相反的方向出发重游了那条路线。people or things on opposite sides of an area or object usually face each other; reverse sides of an object are back to back, facing away from each other. * opposite side 通常指对面； reverse side 指背面、反面◆he waved at me from the opposite side of the road.他在马路对面向我招手。◆on the reverse side of the medal is a coat of arms.奖牌的背面是盾徽。■ contrary /kɒntrəri; name kɑːntreri/ [only before noun] (rather formal) completely different in nature（在性质上）完全相反的，截然不同的◆despite all the contrary evidence, they still believed that the earth was flat.尽管有那么多反面证据，他们依然认为地球是平的。◆the contrary view is that prison provides an excellent education－in crime.截然不同的看法是，监狱提供了极好的教育 － 犯罪教育。note 辨析 opposite or contrary? contrary is a more formal word than opposite and has a narrower range of collocates. opposite can describe both physical things such as the sides of a object or area and abstract things such as opinions. collocates of opposite include direction, side, end, corner, extreme, effect and sex. contrary only describes abstract things and its collocates include opinion, view, intention, argument and evidence.与 opposite 相比，contrary 较正式，搭配词的范围较窄。opposite 既可描述实物，如物体的侧面或场地的边侧，也可描述意见等抽象的事物。opposite 的搭配词有 direction、side、end、corner、extreme、effect 和 sex。contrary 只描述抽象的事物，搭配词有 opinion、view、intention、argument 和 evidence。■ inverse /ɪnvɜːs; name ɪnvɜːrs/ [only before noun] (rather formal) opposite in amount or position to sth else（数量或位置）相反的，反向的ⓘ inverse usually describes a relationship between two things in which, as one element increases, the other decreases. * inverse 通常描述两个事物之间此消彼长的关系◆a person's wealth is often in inverse proportion to their happiness (= the more money they have, the less happy they are).一个人的财富常常与他的幸福成反比。◆there is often an inverse relationship between the power of the tool and how easy it is to use.工具的功能与操作的难易程度往往成相反关系。▸ inversely adverb◆can we assume that the demand for bank lending is inversely related to the rate of interest charged?我们能否认为对银行贷款的需求与所支付的利率成相反关系？■ opposed [not usually before noun] (rather formal) (of ideas or opinions) very different from sth（看法或意见）截然不同◆our views are diametrically opposed on this issue.在这个问题上，我们的观点大相迳庭。opposite [countable] a person or thing that is as different as possible from sb/sth else对立的人（或物）；对立面；反面◆hot and cold are opposites.热和冷是对立的。◆what is the opposite of heavy?重的相反是什么？◆i thought she would be small and blonde but she's the complete opposite.我原以为她是一个身材娇小的金发女郎，但她恰恰相反。◆'is it better now?'
