each和every的區(qū)別是什么?

字號:

each與every都有“每個(gè)”的意思,但二者含義及語法功能不同,主要區(qū)別是:
    1. each既可用作形容詞,又可用作代詞,在句中可以作定語,主語、賓語、同位語、狀語等。
    Each studen t has his own dictionary . (形容詞,定語)
    Each has hi s good point . (代詞,主語)
    Our head teacher had a ta lk with each of us . (代詞,賓語)
    The students each h ave a desk . (代詞,同位語)
    The children can have a b ag each . (副詞,狀語)
    2. each與every都可用作形容詞,在句中作定語,但each更強(qiáng)調(diào)個(gè)人或個(gè)別,every更強(qiáng)調(diào)全體或全部。比較:
    I know each number of your family .
    I know every number of your f amily .
    3. each指兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的人或事物中的“每個(gè)”;every是指許多人或事物的“全體”,與all的意思相近。試譯:
    這條街上每邊都有很多商店。
    [誤]There are ma ny shops on every side of the street .
    [正]There a re many shops on each side of the street .
    我給她父母每人 一件禮物。
    [誤]I gave a present to every one of her par ents .
    [正]I gave a present to each of her parents .
    4. 指上下文提到過的確定數(shù)目中的“每一個(gè)”時(shí),要用each;如果上下文沒有提及時(shí),不能用each,要用everyone等。試譯:
    我認(rèn)為這三個(gè)答案個(gè)個(gè)都正確。
    [誤]I think ever y answer of the three is right .
    [正]I think each of the three answers is right .
    我看見人人都忙著工作。
    [誤]I saw each was bu sy with his work .
    [正]I saw everyone was busy with his work .
