Above two thousand people staged the rally. ( )
Over two thousand people staged the rally. ( )

提示:表“超过”时,须用 over;above 一般不与数字连用,但 above 可与表度量的数字连用,如: I'm afraid the child is well above 90 kilos. (恐怕这孩子早已超过 90 公斤了。)
I'm sure the man is over suspicion. ( )
I'm sure the man is above suspicion. ( )

提示:above suspicion / criticism / reproach 表“没有嫌疑/无可非议/不能指责”,为固定用法。
