问题: 英语疑难
another other
解答:
another与other的区别。
①Some students like English and other students (others) like physics.
【解析】other表示“别的”,“另外的”,只能与复数名词连用。但other前有冠词the即可与单数名词连用。如:
I have two pens. One is blue. The other (pen) is black.
②John did better than all the other players in the sport.
【解析】the other加复数名词指的是一定范围内“所有其余的人或事物”,是特指;而other加复数名词却是没有明确范围的“另外的人或事物”。如:
We must think more of other comrades.
③ This shirt is too large for me. Please show me another.
【解析】another, the other作代词的用法。The other表示“两个数量中的另一个”,表示特指,总数为俩;another表示“总数为三个以上中任意的另一个”,表示泛指。如:
His parents both work in a hospital. One is a doctor and the other is a nurse.
其他习惯用法one another, from one…to another, the other day = a few days ago,every other
day/ week/year, some…, others…,如:
I met Mr. Smith in the park the other day.
While at the university, he went to the library every other day.
Some people like football, others like volleyball.
They are very different from one another.
When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them.
