kneeling down next to him

kneeling down next to him (NEE-ling down next to him)

意思：

👉 跪在他旁边 / 蹲跪在他旁边

拆开来看：

• kneel = 跪下
• kneeling = 正跪着
• down = 向下、跪下去
• next to him = 在他旁边

所以：

kneeling down next to him
= 跪在他旁边

例句

She was kneeling down next to him.
她正跪在他旁边。

这里要注意 kneel 的 k 不发音：

kneel → /niːl/ → 类似 “neel”

和这些词一样：

• know → no
• knife → naif
• knee → nee
• kneel → neel

所以 kneeling 读作 NEE-ling，不是 “knee-ling”。
