‘在’的语义

Using 'In/At' focuses on 'where' or 'what is being done'; using 'Arrive' focuses on 'whether arrival occurred' or 'when it occurs'. In the same scenario, they emphasize different aspects.

与移动动词配合

‘在’通常和静态表达或持续活动搭配，不直接表示“移动到”。‘到达’与移动过程相关，常与“出发”、“经过”等词形成对比，表起点、过程和终点。

'In/At' is usually paired with static expressions or ongoing activities and does not directly express moving to a location. 'Arrive' relates to the movement process and is often contrasted with words like 'depart' or 'pass through', indicating starting point, process, and end point.

时间搭配

‘到达’常与具体时间搭配，表示何时抵达。‘在’常与时间段搭配，表示某段时间内处于某地或进行某事。

'Arrive' is often used with a specific time point to indicate when the arrival occurs. 'In/At' is often used with a time span to indicate being at a place or doing something during a period.

常见误区

误将‘在’用来表达“刚刚到”的动作，会导致句义不清或不自然。表达“到的那一刻”应选‘到达’，表达“已经在某处”应选‘在’。

Misusing 'In/At' to express the moment of arrival leads to unclear or awkward meaning. To express 'the moment of arrival', use 'Arrive'; to express 'already at a location', use 'In/At'.
