every 的用法及固定搭配

every

1.Every man is not honest是“并不每个人都是诚实的”。就是说“有些人诚实,有些人不诚实”。并不是“每个人都是不诚实的”。

2.关于every和any的不同,参见any 1。关于every和each的不同,参见each 1

3.every...and every...或every...and...属于单数形式,如Every man and every woman is admitted和Every man and woman is admitted。

4.下面每组里的两种表达方式意思相同。

  • every third day
    every three days
    (每第三天,每三天,每隔两天)
  • every sixth tree
    every six trees
    (每第六棵树,每六棵树,每隔五棵树)

现在every three days和every six trees等表达方式比every third day和every sixth tree等表达方式普通些。在口语里通常用every other day(每隔一天),不用every second day。

5.every有时用在抽象名词前面,作“完全的”解。例如:I wish you every success. He has every confidence in you. 和I owe every gratitude to my parents.

6.every可以用在my, your, his, her等词的后面。例如:my every wish, your every action, his every movement, her every thought

7.I read every day和Do you see him every week? 里在every day前面不可加上on,在every week前面不可加上in。

8.Every time (that) I saw him I admired him more里的that通常省去。
