Question

proximity n.接近；亲近 (1) 他们的房子很接近我们的。(2) 总数接近岁入之值。(3) 我住的地方靠近贵公司，工作可以说是更加方便有利。(4) 法律规定禁止近亲结婚。 Proximity derives from the Latin proximus "nearest," which also gives us approximate, "close to the actual." It's interesting that the word proximity doesn't have an opposite (except the rather clunky remoteness): I suppose humans are interested in talking about how close two close things are, but when it comes to things that are remote, the distance doesn't matter so much.
