關閉窗口 介詞after與behind的區別
兩者均可表示“在……之后”，其區別是：
1. after 主要用于時間或次序，behind 主要用于位置。如：
He decided to leave after lunch. 他決定午飯后離開。
Summer comes after spring. 春去夏來。
The hospital is behind the post office. 醫院在郵局后面。
注：behind 有時也用于時間，表示“遲于”，主要用于 behind time(遲，晚)這一習語。如：
The train was 20 minutes behind time. 火車晚點 20 分鐘。
2. 兩者都可用于引申義，after 側重指追求、尋找、模仿等；而behind 則側重指在背后、支持、落后等。如：
The police are after her. 警察在追捕她。
Many young people are after her. 許多年青人都追求她。
We are behind you completely. 我們完全支持你。
He is behind the others in maths. 他的數學不如別人。
但表示隨手關門時，after 和 behind 都可以用，沒什么區別：

Shut the door after [behind] you when you go out. 出去時請隨手關門。
She went out, shutting the door after [behind] her. 她走出去，隨手關上門。
