◉词源
Juxtaposition（并置）约17世纪进入英语，源自拉丁语 juxta（靠近、在旁边）+ positio（放置）。演变过程：从字面“并排放置”直接扩展为艺术、文学或修辞中“通过对比突出差异”的修辞手法。前缀 juxta-（靠近）；词根 pos-（放置，PIE po-s- “放置”）；后缀 -ion（表示动作或结果）。

◉ Usage Notes
If a waiter served you a whole fish and a scoop of chocolate ice cream on the same plate, your surprise might be caused by the juxtaposition, or the side-by-side contrast, of the two foods.
Any time unlike things bump up against each other, you can describe it as a juxtaposition. Imagine a funeral mourner telling jokes graveside, and you get the idea — the juxtaposition in this case is between grief and humor. Juxtaposition of two contrasting items is often done deliberately in writing, music, or art — in order to highlight their differences.
