between和among的用法区别
Prepositions can be tricky in any language, including English. And English has a lot of them. But, do not worry! Ask a Teacher is here to make things easier. Today's question comes from Edgar of Venezuela. Here it is:
包括英语在内的任何语言,介词都是很难的。英语中有很多介词。但是,不用担心!在这里我们将让这件事变得特别简单。今天的问题是由来自委内瑞拉的埃德加提出的。问题是:
Question:
问题:
I would like to know the difference between "among" and "between." Thanks! – Edgar, Venezuela
我想知道among和between之间的区别。谢谢!
Answer:
回答:
Hello Edgar, that is an excellent question.
你好,埃德加,这个问题棒极了。
This week, I had a choice between this question and many others. But I chose this one.
本周,我要在这个问题和其他很多问题之间做出选择。最后,我选择了这个。
Did you see how I used "between"?
你看出来了吗,我是怎么使用between的?
I see that you also used the word correctly when you asked about the "difference between" the words. Good job!
我看到当你询问单词之间的区别时,你用词也很准确。很棒!
"Between" and "among" are two prepositions that generally mean "in the middle of two or more things." But how do we know which to use?
between和among都是介词,通常指的是“在两个或两个以上事物之间”。但是,我们如何辨别到底该用哪个呢?
Many English learners are taught that we use "between" for two things and "among" for three or more.
很多英语学习者都被这样教导过:between用于表示两个事物,among用于表示三个或三个以上事物。
It is true that we usually use "between" to talk about things that are clearly separate, as you and I both did. However, the use of "between" is not limited by the number of things.
没错,我们常用between来谈论明显分开的事物,正如你我说的那样。然而,between并不受事物数量的限制。
We use "among" to talk about things within a group. They are not clearly separate. "Among" means "in or through a group of people or things."
我们用among来谈论一个群体之内的事物。这些事物并不是明显分开的。among的意思是“在一群人或一组事物之中”。
Here are some sentences to compare:
下面的几个句子作出了比较:
He is choosing between Spanish, French and Italian.
他正在西班牙语、法语和意大利语之间作选择。
He is choosing among the languages.
他正在选择语言。
The word "between" named the languages while "among" spoke about them as part of a group. Now compare these:
between一词说出了语言的名字,而between一词指的是这几种语言是群体的一部分。来比较一下:
A liger is a hybrid between a lion and a tiger.
狮虎兽是狮子和老虎的杂交动物。
Ligers are among the many animal hybrids in the world.
狮虎兽是世界上众多杂交动物中的一种。
The word "between" named the animals, while "among" spoke of them as being part of a group.
between一词提及了这些动物的名字,而among一词则表示这些动物属于某个群体的一部分。
Take Note
注意
A few things to note:
有几点需要注意:
In everyday spoken English, Americans usually do not use the word "among" as it sounds a little formal. Instead, we might use "between" or a different preposition.
在日常口语中,美国人通常不用among这个词,因为它听起来有点正式。我们而是使用between或别的介词。
The word "between" is also used to talk about time, space and other measurements, such as in "Please arrive between the hours of 10am and 1pm" and "There was a meter of space between my bike and the cars."
between这个词也用于谈论时间、空间和其他度量单位,例如“Please arrive between the hours of 10am and 1pm”以及“There was a meter of space between my bike and the cars”。
你确定你真的会用between 和among ?
Among V.S. Between到底有什么区别?
经常有童鞋问无忧小雅哥&悉尼雅思姐“between和among/amongst到底有什么区别?”看到这个问题,很多烤鸭可能会不假思索地说“between用于两者之间的选择,among则用于两者以上。 ”这并不能算错,但却不完整哦!~ 烤鸭们看好咯~ 今天无忧小雅哥&悉尼雅思姐就给大家仔细讲一讲这两个词的到底都差在哪!~
通常情况下between是形容……是在两者之间的 ,这种关系发生在两个物体,组别和人群之间。字典中是这样说的The word between is usually used to describe something being in the middle of two other things.
例如:
The map is between the palm trees and the hut.
地图在棕榈树和小屋之间。
I hid the note between two rocks. (hid是hide的过去式)
我把便签藏在两个岩石之间了。
但是,我们来看看下方例句:
She chose between Harvard, Brown and Yale.
她在哈佛大学,布朗大学和耶鲁大学之间做选择。
看到这个例句,是不是有小伙伴迷惑了,为什么有三个选择,却还是要用between呢?
其实这里有个童鞋们不知道的 “潜规则” – 当人们谈论有明显区别的单个物体时,即便数量超过两个,依然是要使用between的!~
WHY???
字典中是这样解释的:In fact, between can be used with three or more things as long as they are separate and distinct.
烤鸭们要注意separate和distinct这两个词的意思哦~
例如:
Share the sweets between Peter, Paul, Fred, and Dan
让Peter, Paul, Fred和 Dan分享这些糖果吧。
The differences between English, Chinese and Arabic are significant.
英语,中文和阿拉伯语之间的差别是非常大的。
怎么样~ 是不是很多烤鸭们都木有见过这种用法呢!~ 童鞋们快快记下来呀!~
相反,当人们谈及并无明显差别的物品或个体时,用among。字典中是这样解释的,the word among is usually used to portray the idea of being part of a group or in the midst of a group. Among is usually followed by a plural noun.
例如:
If you live among wolves, you have to act like a wolf.
如果你在一群狼中间生活,你也得表现像个狼一样。
狼群没有任何separate和distinct的特征,它描述的是一个族群
Fear spread among the hostage.
恐惧感在人质们中弥漫开来
人质们也属于一个群体哦~
He was glad to find a friend among enemies.
他很高兴在敌人中找到了一个朋友
所以童鞋们现在就知道啦~ “between”并非只用于两者之间的哦~ among强调的是…身在一个群体中间。
位置
“Between”和“among”还可以告诉读者不同事物的位置和方向。我们就通过以下例子来仔细了解下吧!~
Squiggly walked between the trees. (Squiggly是人名)
Squiggly walked among the trees.
第一句给人的感觉是Squiggly走在小径上,他要么走在两棵树中间,要么就是走在被树包围着的小路上。
反观第二句,所体现的是Squiggly走在森林或是公园里面。 他可能心中有目的地,但看起来并不像他从a点到b点有一条“确定的”路线。
Among V.S. Amongst
Among和amongst的区别相信也是烤鸭们的另一个困惑吧!~这两个词的意思相近,那到底区别在哪呢?Amongst是较为旧式的用法 ,通常出现在英式英语中。在美式英语中,amongst被看做过时的,过于正式,甚至是做作的o(︶︿︶)o如果一个美国作家用amongst,那极有可能是在写另一个时代的故事。如:
It is truly safe to walk amongst the peasants, my load?
Dear listeners, I hope thus trifling is amongst your favourites for the week.
(无忧小雅哥&悉尼雅思姐默默地起了一身
鸡皮疙瘩Orz….)
