both与two的用法区别
强调两个人和物时,不止是一个,才可用both,
如:There were two dogs on the porch. Both were fast asleep.
门廊上有两只狗,都在熟睡。(不止是一条狗)
应避免使用the both, 应当用the two,
如:The two of them were incited.
那两人被邀请了。(强调二人一起)
在正式英语中应用the two of you, 而不用you both,
如:Notice will be sent to the two of you.
通知将送交你们二位。
all, every ,each的比较
each 可指小到两个,all, every 则至少指三个。all 表所有项目的总和,是一不可分割的整体。
如:All the students contributed to the fund.
所有学生都为基金会捐了款。
every 是由各个项目集合成一个集体,其构成成分有共性。如:
Every student contributed to the fund.
所有学生都为基金会捐了款。
each的注意力集中在个别项目上,其构成成分各具特性。如:
Each student contributed to the fund.
每个学生都为基金会捐了款。
