each 与every 的区别与用法

1个回答

  • each与every虽然都有“每个”的意思,但二者含义及语法功能不同.例如,each既可用作形容词,又可用作代词,every只能作形容词;用作形容词作定语时,each更强调个人或个别,every表示“每个”之意,含有“全部”之意味,等等.两个词的差异总结如下:

    一、each既可用作形容词,又可用作代词,在句中可以作定语,主语、宾语、同位语、状语等;every只能作形容词.

    如:

    Each student has his own desk.

    每个学生都有自己的桌子.(形容词,定语)

    The students each have a desk.

    学生们每人有一张书桌.(代词,同位语)

    Each has his good point.

    各人有各自的优点.(代词,主语)

    Our head teacher had a talk with each of us.

    我们的班主任与我们每个人都谈了话.(代词,宾语)

    The children can have a bag each.

    孩子们每人可带一只提包.(副词,状语)

    Every member has a share in the profits made by the company.

    每个会员可分享公司的盈利.(形容词)

    二、each与every都可用作形容词,在句中作定语,但each更强调个人或个别,every表示“每个”之意,含有“全体”、“全部”之意味.

    如:

    I know each number of your family.

    我认识你们家的每个成员.(强调每一个都认识)

    I know every number of your family.

    我认识你们家的每个成员.(强调认识全家人)

    三、each指两个或两个以上的人或事物中的“每个”;every是指许多人或事物的“全”.

    如:

    我给她父母每人一件礼物.

    〔误〕I gave a present to every one of her parents .

    〔正〕I gave a present to each of her parents .

    四、指上下文提到过的确定数目中的“每一个”时,要用each;如果上下文没有提及时,不能用each,要用everyone等.

    如:

    我认为这三个答案个个都正确.

    〔误〕I think every answer of the three is right .

    〔正〕I think each of the three answers is right .

    我看见人人都忙着工作.

    〔误〕I saw each was busy with his work .

    〔正〕I saw everyone was busy with his work .

    五、each 单独做主语或each、every修饰的单数名词做主语时,谓语动词为单数形式,但each of them做主语时,谓语动词用单数或复数形式都可以.

    如:

    Each / Each person / Every person is living a happy life now.

    人人都过着幸福生活.

    Each of them are / is wearing full dress.

    他们个个都身着盛装.

    六、every可以与not连用构成部分否定,意思是“并不/非所有人”,而each则不可以与not连用.全部否定是no one ,意思是“个个都不”、“没有人”等.

    如:

    人人都不喜欢这个电视剧.

    〔误〕Each / Everyone / Every one of them doesn’t like the TV play .

    (表示并不是所有人都喜欢这个电视剧,并不排除可能还有人喜欢)

    〔正〕No one likes the TV play .

    七、each与other可构成相互代词,every则不可以.

    如:

    We should take care of each other and help each other.

    我们应该互相关心,互相帮助.

    八、表示“每隔……”、“每……”,要用“every+基数词+复数名词”.这种结构中的every不能用each替代.

    如:

    They’ll choose one out of every ten girls .

    他们将在每十个姑娘里挑选一个.

    We hand in our homework every three days.

    我们每隔两天(每三天)交一次作业.

    注意:“每三天或每隔两天”,也可以写作“every third day”,即,若用序数词时,后接单数名词.再如every four weeks / fourth week(每四周/每隔三周),every other day / second day / two days(每隔一天),every other line(每隔一行)等.
