核心问题
In fact ____ of the contradictory judgements is valid. A. some B. each C. every D. both(全国研考)
each 和 every 都作“每一个”解,为什么上面的试题只能选 B(each),而不能选 C(every)?
词典解答
every 通常只能用作形容词, 如 every day, every student, 而不能用作代词, 因此, 不能说: every of the days, every of the students。而 each 除用作形容词外, 还可用作代词。例如:
Each state Each of the states 每个国家都有自己的国旗。
each 与 every 的另一个语法上的区别, 是 each 还可用作副词:
-
Give them two each. (ALD) 各给他们两个。
-
He offered me the tin of biscuits and my sister and I had one each. 他把这听饼干给了我，我和我姐姐每人一听。
