every和each的用法區(qū)別
every和each同屬中位限定詞,都可與單數(shù)名詞連用,且意義相近,表示‘每個(gè)’,然而every和each并不完全一樣,every強(qiáng)調(diào)整體概括,each則表示個(gè)別概念。例如:
Each day is better than the one before.
一天比一天好。
Every player was in good form.
每個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員都處于最佳狀態(tài)。
如果不特別強(qiáng)調(diào)某一意義時(shí),every和each可以互換。 例如:
We want every child to succeed.
我們希望每個(gè)孩子都成功。
Each child will find his own personal road to success.
每個(gè)孩子將會(huì)找到他個(gè)人的成功之路。
each可以指兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的人或東西,every卻不能指兩個(gè),只能指三個(gè)以上的數(shù)量。例如:
Each sex has its own physical and psychological characteristics.
