它们的区别一般体现在以下三个方面:
1)表示动态的“越过”、“穿过“时,用over,不用above,例如:
A plan just flew over the city hall.
We walked over the bridge.
2)表示一个物体覆盖在另一个物体上、两物体之间有接触时,用over,不用above,例如:
Did you wear a raincoat over your clothes?
Please put foil over the remaining food.
当上下两个物体不接触时,above更常用,例如:
Many bird species fly above the clouds.

Over一般用在高度、年龄、速度和时间方面,例如:
We have been waiting over an hour for a table.
The game is for children over 10 years of age.
Above一般用在温度方面,例如:
It went above 90 degrees again yesterday.
