用法
Strictly speaking, the phrase close proximity says nothing that is not said by proximity itself. Like other common redundancies, however (old adage, mental telepathy ), this usage is too widespread and too innocuous to be worth objecting to.See Usage Note at redundancy
严格地说,close proximity 短语一点不表示 proximity 本身的意思。 但正如其它的冗长词,(old adage, mental telepathy ), 这种用法极为普遍且无关痛痒,不值得提出反对参见 redundancy
