each和every的用法區(qū)別

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更強調(diào)個人或個別，every更強調(diào)全躰或全部。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“全躰”，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：

我認爲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.
