“在侧面的人或物”可以翻译为 “people or objects on the side” 或者更具体地表达为 “people or objects located at the side (position)” 。“on the side” 是较为常用且简洁的表达,侧重于描述位置处于侧面;而 “located at the side” 表述稍正式、详细一些,明确指出所处位置是侧面。
例如:
We could see some people or objects on the side during the parade.(在游行期间,我们可以看到侧面有一些人或物 。)
The painting depicts a main scene with several people or objects located at the side.(这幅画描绘了一个主要场景,旁边有一些人或物 。)
