each與every都有“每個”的意思,但二者含義及語法功能不同,主要區(qū)別是: 1. each既可用作形容詞,又可用作代詞,在句中可以作定語,主語、賓語、同位語、狀語等。 Each student has his own dictionary. (形容詞,定語) Each has hi s good point. (代詞,主語) Our head teacher had a talk with each of us. (代詞,賓語) The students each have a desk. (代詞,同位語) The children can have a bag each. (副詞,狀語) 2. each與every都可用作形容詞,在句中作定語,但each更強(qiáng)調(diào)個人或個別,every更強(qiáng)調(diào)全體或全部。比較: I know each number of your family. I know every number of your family. 3. each指兩個或兩個以上的人或事物中的“每個”;every是指許多人或事物的“全體”,與all的意思相近。試譯: 這條街上每邊都有很多商店。 [誤]There are many shops on every side of the street. [正]There a re many shops on each side of the street. 我給她父母每人 一件禮物。 [誤]I gave a present to every one of her parents. [正]I gave a present to each of her parents. 4. 指上下文提到過的確定數(shù)目中的“每一個”時,要用each;如果上下文沒有提及時,不能用each,要用everyone等。試譯: 我認(rèn)為這三個答案個個都正確。 [誤]I think every answer of the three is right. [正]I think each of the three answers is right. 我看見人人都忙著工作。 [誤]I saw each was busy with his work. [正]I saw everyone was busy with his work.
