2. above用作副词时不用于比较等级。

adj.(形容词)

1. above作“上述的”解时只用在名词前作定语，不用于比较等级。
2. the above可用作名词，在句中用作主语时，谓语动词可用单数形式，也可用复数形式。

1. 作为形容词时，意为“上面的”，如the above list，the above statement；

above all, first of all

这两个短语都有“首先”的意思。其区别是：

above all指重要性上的“首先”，即“最重要的”“特别是”；而first of all指事物排列顺序上的首先，即“第一”。

above, beyond

这两个词都可以作“超出”解。其区别在于:above强调其本身凌驾于一般的标准之上; 而beyond则偏重客观事物非本身力量所能达到或完成。

above, on top of

这两个词语都作“在…上边”解。其区别是：

above表示“不与…相接触”，而on top of则表示“与…相接触”。

above, over, on

这三个词都可表示“在…上”。其区别是：

on在上并接触；above笼统表示在上，不接触；over垂直在上，空间上接近。

above，on，over

这些前置词均含“在……上”之意。

above一般指位置高于某物，但不一定在正上方，也不接触另一物，其反义词是below。

on指与另一物表面相接触。

over指一物在另一物的垂直上方，多暗示悬空，但也含“覆盖于……之上”之意。其反义词是under。
