记忆方法: 1）首字母DFFFRR想成different不同<==遥远     "远"本义为"遥远，距离长"。"袁"本义是衣服特别长的样子，走之表示与行走有关，字面意思是要走很长时间，因此距离远。引申为时间久意义深关系疏志向高等      "遥"的意思是"远"，广雅:"遥,远也"，表意不明，如遥望遥祭遥相呼应路遥    "近"本义为"不远"，"斤"是斧的象形。意思是手拿斧子在路上走，一般是干活，去的地方通常不远，所以产生了与"远"相反的含义，即本义为"不远、附近"。引申为时间短关系亲密意义浅显。如逼近近亲近期近贤远佞亲近       "遐"从从叚，"叚"意为非原居地借居地，辵叚合用表示"远走外地"，即借居异地，自然引申为"遥远"，如遐迩，遐想表示"超越时空的高远想象"      "迩"表示距离近，和"遐"相对，还表示浅，如迩来表示近来，表意不明

         2）遥远的意思是时间空间关系不近mean not close in space, time, or relationship.
