vicinity
用法要点
介词搭配
常与介词'in'或'of'连用，表示在某个地点或事物的附近。'in the vicinity of'是固定短语，强调大致范围。
句型结构
通常用作不可数名词，在句子中作主语、宾语或介词宾语，描述位置关系。
语域说明
多用于正式或书面语境，如新闻报道、学术写作或商务沟通，日常口语中更常用'around'或'nearby'。

常见错误
错误在于缺少冠词'the'。'vicinity'通常与定冠词'the'连用，构成固定短语'in the vicinity of'，表示'在...附近'。
错误在于语义重复。'vicinity'本身已含'附近'之意，与'around'连用显得冗余。应改用'area'或直接说'The vicinity of the mall is crowded.'。
