remote, distant, far
这三个词共同的意思是“远的”“遥远的”。它们的区别是：
distant指时间上、空间上的遥远,也可指亲属关系上的疏远; 而far除表示实际距离的远和时间的遥远外,还可指程度上的“远”; remote指时间或距离上是遥远的,也指在感情、兴趣等方面距离很大的,还指关系方面疏远的或淡薄的。另外, distant常用于比喻; far通常用于文学语体,用来描写异国风光或景色等。 例如:
She is always distant with strangers.她对陌生人总是很冷漠。
He is a distant uncle of mine.他是我的一位远房叔叔。
My school is far from the town.我的学校离城很远。
My hometown is remote from sea.我的家乡离海很远。
distant，far，remote
这些形容词都含有“远的”之意。
distant语意最强，强调距离。
far除特殊情况外，侧重长距离。也可用作引申意义。
remote侧重指偏离中心地带。
