between和among到底有什么区别?

初中老师说between是两者之间,among用于多个之间。 为什么The conference is held between China,USA,Korea,Japan.这句话要用between?

among 指三者或三者以上的同类事物之间。 between 多指两者之间,但现代英语中也可指三者或三者以上,表示彼此间清楚的独立的个体关系。 among 〔误〕 If the three apples are divided among the two boys how much will each receive? 〔正〕 If the three apples are divided among the three boys how much will each receive? 〔析〕 among常用于三个事物或人物之间,而between则多用于两者之间。 There is a tall tree between the house and the supermarket.
