用法
(1)According to traditional canons of usage, the verb center may be freely used with the prepositions on, upon, in, or at; but its use with around is excoriated as 「ungrammatical,」 「illogical,」 「geometrically senseless,」 and 「physically impossible.」 But the fact that writers persist in using this phrase in sentences such as The discussion centered around the need for curriculum revision (where traditionalists would require revolved around ) suggests a widespread perception that center around, for all its apparent illogicality, may sometimes represent the true nature of experience. Center may denote a variety of relations involving having, finding, or turning about a center, and the choice of a preposition depends on what is intended. There is reputable precedent for usages such as Our hope centered in the young sovereign;
根據傳統用法，動詞center 可以和介詞 on，upon，in 或 at 自由連用； 但它和around 連用卻被嚴厲指責為「不合語法」，「不合邏輯」，「幾何上無意義」，「物理上不可能」。 然而事實上作家們堅持在句子裡使用這個短語，比如討論圍繞修訂工作的需求展開 （這裡傳統人士將用 rovolve around ）表明 center around 揭示了一個普遍的認識， 即儘管它明顯不合邏輯，有時也會代表經驗的真正特性。Center 可以指示包括擁有，發現或圍繞中心轉動在內的多種關係， 介詞的選擇取決於具體意向。用法上有著名的先例，如我們的希望集中於年輕的帝王身上；
His thoughts centered on the long journey before him;
他的思緒集中於面前漫漫長路上；
(2)and The trade is centered at Amsterdam; as well as for usages such as A storm of battle centered around the king, in which example around seems to be the only appropriate choice. See Usage Note at equal
以及貿易集中於阿姆斯特丹； 也有這樣的用法，如戰鬥的風暴圍繞著國王 ， 在這個例子裡around 似為唯一適當的選擇 參見 equal
