一、核心区别
维度 | Each | Every |
侧重点 | 强调个体独立性(逐个看待) | 强调整体一致性(全部包含) |
数量范围 | 可用于 2个或更多 | 仅用于 3个或更多 |
词性 | 代词、形容词、副词 | 仅形容词 |
二、不可互换的场景
数量限制
✅ Each:
"She held a pen in each hand." (双手,共2个)
❌ Every:
❌ "every hand" (错误,因手只有2只)
2.固定搭配
Each 特有:
作代词:"They each received a gift."
接 "of":"Each of the students was tested."
Every 特有:
频率表达:"He runs every morning." (日常习惯)
间隔意义:"Take a pill every six hours."
3."Each other" vs. "Every other"
Each other(两者之间,表示“互相”。):"The twins hugged each other."
Every other(间隔交替):"The magazine comes out every other month."
三、可互换但语义微妙的场景
强调个体 vs. 整体
Each(突出单独性):
"Each employee has a unique ID." (逐个分配)
Every(强调整体):
"Every employee must wear a badge." (全员无例外)
2.时间频率
Each(侧重每一天独立):
"Each day of the trip was unforgettable."
Every(规律性重复):
"She calls her mother every day."
四、与“the”“a”“an”等冠词的搭配
each
可以与“the”“a”“an”等冠词连用。
例如:Each of the students is responsible.(每个学生都很负责任。)
Each a student is responsible.(每个学生都很负责任。)
every
一般不与“a”“an”等冠词连用,但可以与“the”连用。
例如:Every student is responsible.(每个学生都很负责任。)
Every the student is responsible.(每个学生都很负责任。)
与“not”的搭配
each
“each”与“not”连用时,表示部分否定,即“不是每一个……”。
例如:Not each student is responsible.(不是每个学生都很负责任。)
every
“every”与“not”连用时,表示全部否定,即“没有一个……”。
例如:Not every student is responsible.(没有一个学生都很负责任。)
❌ "Every of the apples is red."
✅ "Each of the apples is red." 或 "Every apple is red."❌ "There is a window on every side of the room." (若房间只有2面窗)
✅ "There is a window on each side of the room."❌ "They gave gifts to every other."
✅ "They gave gifts to each other."
五、常见错误修正
六、速记口诀
"Each 两个起,强调个体;
Every 三个加,整体概括。‘Each of’ 代名词,‘Every’ 配时间;固定搭配莫混用,检查数量最关键!"
