Hey guys,
"空气中有臭味."
What's the 中 doing there? Is it just specifying the air right here, in the middle of us, is the "area" that smells bad (not necessarily the air around us, across the room, etc.)?
Mandarin Blueprint
Think of it as like "within" or "among." There are a lot of things in the air, but *among* them is a 臭味.

So you would say 楼外面的空气中有臭味 for outside and 楼里的空气有臭味 for inside?
Mandarin Blueprint
That's right!
