请结合上列试题讲一讲 another 与 other 的区别。
应把 another 看作是 an 与 other 两个词的融合或者是 one other 的简略形式。因此,后面只能跟单数名词(如与复数名词连用,则具有其它含义,见 another )。
-

-
There is also another way of looking at the question. (DEU) 研究这个问题,还有另一种方法。
other 后既可跟单数名词,也可跟复数名词:
-

-
There must be other ways of solving the problem. (LEG) 肯定还有另外一些方法来解决这个问题。
