another/the other

核心问题

I don't like this room. I'd prefer {anotherthe other}\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \text{another} \\ \text{the other} \end{array} \right\} one. (CGEL)

我看不出 another onethe other one 有何区别。

词典解答

the other 用于指两个之中的“另一个”,因此,常常与 one 配合使用:

  1. One of my brothers is named Richard; the other named Frederick. 我的一个哥哥叫理查德, 另一个叫弗雷德里克。

  2. He has a book in one hand, and a pen in the other. 他一只手拿着一本书,另一只手拿着一支笔。

  3. The little girl slowly closed one eye and then the other. (IME) 小女孩慢慢地闭上了一只眼睛,然后又闭上了另一只。

another 则指不确定数目中的“另一个”:

  1. I don't like this one, show me another. (UED) 我不喜欢这个,给我看看另一个。

  2. They went from one shop to another. (Mis) 他们从一家商店走到另一家商店。

  3. A hobo is a person who wanders from one place to another. (IME) 流浪汉是从一个地方游荡到另一个地方的人。
