between和amony的差别

如题所述

among, between, amid, amongst

这些前置词均含"在……之间,在……之中"之意。

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。

1)between一般指“两者之间”,而among用于三个或三个以上的人或物之中,或笼统的一群人或一些物之中,表示“在……中间”。例如:①Between the door and the windows there is a map.门和窗户的中间有一张地图。

②What's the difference between the two words?

这两个词之间有什么区别?

③The young people lived and worked among the workers.那些年青人生活、工作在工人之中。

④They divided the money among(或 between) themselves.他们自己把钱分了。(注:用among,they至少是三个人;用between, they是两个人。)

【注意】我们可以说between you and me,但不能说 between you and I,因为between是介词。

2)between还可以用来指三个或三个以上的人或物的每两个之间。三个或三个以上的名词用and连接,前面用between,而不用among。例如:①Near the cemetery, between the trees, there is something shining, perhaps bayonets. 在墓地附近,树丛中间,有什么东西闪闪发亮,可能是刺刀。②There does not seem much difference between the three of them.

这三者之间似乎没有很大的区别。

③Switzerland lies between France, Germany, Austria and Italy.瑞士位于法、德、奥、意之间。

3)among可用来表示一个比较的范围,=one of,常与最高级连用。例如:①Yokohama is among(= one of) the largest seaports in the Far East.横滨为远东最大港口之一。

一般说来,among 用于三者或三者以上的“在…中间”,f其宾语通常是一个表示笼统数量或具有复数(或集合()意义的名词或代词;而between 主要指两者之间,其宾语往往是表示两者的名词或代词,或者是由 and 连接的两个人或物: They hid themselves among the trees. 他们躲在树林中。There was a fight between the two boys. 这两个孩子打过一次架。I’m usually free between Tuesday and Thursday. 我通常在星期二与星期四之间有空。【注】在下列情况,between 可用于三者:(1) 当两个以上的人或物用 and 连接时:between A, B and C 在 A、B、C 之间(2) 涉及事物之间的区别或各国之间的关系时:the difference between the three of them 他们三者之间的区别the relations between various countries 各国之间的关系(3) 表示“由于…合作的结果”时:Between them they landed the fish. 他们协力把鱼拖上了岸。(4) 在 divide, share 等表示“分享”之类的动词之后,若接一个表示三者或三者以上的复数名词时,用 among between 均可:He divided his money among [between] his five sons. 他把钱分给了5个儿子。
