[译] 孩子们在湖上划船时听到邻近的树林里的鸟鸣声。
[误] While the children were boating on the lake, they heard the bird calls from the adjoining woods.

[正] While the children were boating on the lake, they heard the bird calls from the neighbouring woods.
[注] 形容词neighbouring与adjoining是同义词。neighbouring(=living or being near; bordering; near)意为"邻近的"、"接壤的"、"毗连的"，既可描写一个共同分界线的事物，又可以修饰邻近的事物。如：The United States and Canada are neighbouring countries. 美国与加拿大是接壤的国家。adjoining（= next to）意为"邻接的"、"毗连的"，用来修饰有一个共同分界线的事物。如：Tom lives in the adjoining room. 汤姆住在隔壁房间。
