例如圣何塞位于旧金山的边缘地带。它不在旧金山市中心邻近。

It can take up to an hour in traffic to get from San Jose to downtown San Francisco. So I will also write here not near downtown.

从圣何塞到旧金山市区最多可以需要一个小时的交通。所以我也会在这儿写不在市中心邻近。

Cool, this is very similar to our next word suburb, suburb. So do you remember our word urban with the cities?

运用这个单词时要记住的另一个重要事项是边缘地带分配的介词是 on，on the outskirts。我会说圣何塞在旧金山的边缘地带。
