Below
Below 可当介词也可以做副词。
Below 意思是 ‘lower than’
我们最常用below作介词，意思是“低于”。它的意思与under相似。下面的反义词是上面。当人和物之间没有接触时，我们使用它:

当下面的副词用来修饰名词时，它跟在名词后面:

我们在指船或船的下层或甲板时使用副词below:
[talking about a boat]
It was a wonderful little boat. We spent most of our time fishing and watching the sea. We’d go below to sleep and to eat.
Below 与数字搭配
当我们谈论处于较低水平的数字、金额或统计数据时，我们用below多于under:
Inflation has fallen below 5% for the first time in six years.

Below 在写作中含有forward 的含义
在正式写作中，我们用below来表示我们稍后会提到或展示的东西:

- 当一件东西碰到、覆盖或隐藏了另一件东西时，我们不用below;我们通常用under来代替:
