"Fine. But is his house the one ____?"
A. next or across from George's B. across from George's or next it
C. next to George's or across from it D. next George's or across it (TOEFL)
标准答案为 C。但是,我不明白 across from 是什么意思。
复合介词 across from 主要用于美国英语, 其意义 = across: “在……的对面” “在……另一边”。例如：

The bank is just across from the school. (ALD) 银行就在学校对面。
