英语问题

each和every区别

1. each着重于个别的“每个”,有“各自”的含义,并不强调整体概念。every着重于全体而不是个别的“每个”,有“整体”的含义,只能是一个整体中的每一个组成部分或单位。

试比较:

Each of them goes to a different factory. 他们各自去了不同的工厂。

Every one of them goes to the same factory. 他们每个人都去了同一个工厂。

2. each可用作形容词,也可用作代词,作代词时可以单独用作主语或宾语(作主语时,后面的谓语动词用单数形式);every只能用作形容词,它不能单独作代词用,只有在和其它词构成复合代词或与名词连用时,才能用作主语或宾语。如:

Each of us has his merits. 我们每个人都有自己的优点。

Everybody is here and each is doing his own job. 大家都在这儿,各干各的活儿。

3. each一般可用来指可数的固定的人或物中的一个,而every则还可以用来泛指一般的人或物。如:

I know each member of the club. 我认识这个俱乐部的每个成员。

As everybody knows, the earth is round and goes round the sun. 众所周知,地球是圆的而且绕着太阳转。

4. each 和every虽都可用于指某些固定的人或物中的“每个”,但each一般用于指两个或两个以上的人或物中的一个;而every则通常用于指三个或三个以上的人或物中的一个。如:

Trees have been planted on each side of the road. 路的两旁都已种上了树。

Every child in the class passed the examination. 班上所有的学生考试都及格了。

5. 在一些习惯用语中,有时each和every分别有不同于“每个;各自”的含义,而和一些单词构成含义不同的短语。如:

We help each other. 我们相互帮助。

She comes back every other day. 她每隔一天回来一次。

6. every可与not 连用表示“不全都是”,而each则不能与not连用。

Each and every are generally used as determiners before singular countable nouns. *each和every一般都作限定词, 用於单数可数名词之前. Each is used when the items in a group (of two or more) are considered individually *each用以指一个群体(至少两个)中个别的个体: Each child learns at his or her own pace. 每个儿童均按自己的进度学习. Every indicates that all the items in a group (of three or more) are being regarded as members of that group. *every指一个群体(至少三个)中侧重於全体的所有个体, 而不在个别的个体. It can be modified by some adverbs 这个词可以受某些副词修饰: Every/Nearly every child in the school passed the swimming test.这所学校的每一个[几乎每一个]儿童游泳都及格了. Each (one) of and every one of come before plural nouns or pronouns, but the verb is still singular *each (one) of和every one of用於复数名词或代词之前, 然而动词仍用单数: Each of the houses is slightly different. 每所房子都稍有区别. * I bought a dozen eggs and every one of them was bad. 我买了一打鸡蛋, 每个都是坏的. * She gave each (one) of her grandchildren 50p. 她给每个孙儿50便士. Each can function as a pronoun on its own *each本身可作代词: I asked all the children and each told a different story. 我问过所有的孩子, 每个人的说法都不一样. It can also follow a plural subject or an indirect object with a plural verb 这个词还可以用於复数的主语之后或复数动词的间接宾语之后: We each have a different point of view. 我们每个人都有不同的观点.
