这两个词的区别我懂，near是附近的意思，而next to是旁边的意思，next to的距离较近些。给大家简单总结了两个词的含义、发音以及用法，先大概的了解一下~~
near和next to的区别
1、next to 意思是“与……相邻，紧靠着”与be close to 很接近，但next to 强调距离上“紧邻”。
① Our school is next to a supermarket. 我们学校紧挨着一家超市。
② Our school is close to a supermarket. 我们学校距离一家超市很近。
2、near表示“在……附近”，表示的距离比by和beside稍远些，也时常换用。
There is a theatre near his home. 他家附近有一家剧院。
Don't play near the road. 不要在马路附近玩。
简单来说，next to是一个比较具体的方位，而near只是一个粗略大概的位置，无法作具体引导~
比如，near的第一个例句，“他家附近有一家剧院”我无法具体确认剧院的位置，可能是在他家前100米，可能是在他家隔壁的隔壁的隔壁，太粗略的定位了，只是一个大概~
