A. You look more beautiful every time I see you.
B. You look more beautiful each time I see you.
答案: A & B
【賀氏英文法全書】 【第三篇代名詞(Pronoun)】 【第三章不定代名詞】

 

15. every 與 each 的異同:

 

A. 在許多場合兩者都可以通用。如:

   (1) You look more beautiful each (or every) time I see you
       (我每次看到你,你都顯得更漂亮。)

   (2) Every (or Each) child received a large apple. 
       (每一個小孩都得到一個大蘋果。)

 

B. 若要強調固定範圍內的“全體一致,沒有一個例外”,用 every (沒有強調此種意圖時,小數目中常用 each);若要強調“ 個別差異 ”(即各有各的做法、想法等),用 each。如:

 (1) a. We want every child to succeed.  
        (我們希望每一個小孩個個都成功。)

     b. Each child will find his own personal road to success.
        (每一個小孩都會找到各自的成功之路。)

 (2) a. Every violinist practices for several hours.
        (每一位小提琴手個個每天都練習好幾個小時。)
     b. Each violinist has his own way of playing the Beethoven concerto.
        (每一位小提琴手演奏貝多芬協奏曲都各有各的方式。)
 (3) a. Every player was on top form.
        (每一位球員個個都是在巔峰狀態。)
     b. The president shook hands with each (or every ) player in turn after the game.
        (比賽結束後,總統依次和每一位球員握手。)

 

C. every 可以和 almost﹐nearly﹐single, practically (=almost)﹐without exception 結合以強調“(幾乎)全體一致(沒有例外) ”的含義,each 則不可。如:

 (1) Nearly every child likes candy.
      (幾乎每一個小孩都喜歡吃糖果。)

 (2) I told every single student what I thought of him.
     (我告訴了每一位學生我對他的想法。)

 

D. every 不可指兩者中的每一個,永遠指三者或更多; each 則可指兩者 (亦可指三者或更多,參閱上述A與B)。因此,下面各例中的 each 不可改用 every 。如:
 (1) Each one of my parents has a car.
     (我的父母親都各有一輛轎車。)

 (2) Each sex has its own physical and psychological characteristics.
     (兩性都各有其生理上與心理上的特徵。)

 (3) There were roses on each side of the door.
     (門口的每一邊都有玫瑰。)

 

E. 不定數量的、泛指的每一個只用 every。如:

 (1) Every company has its own vacation policy.
     (每個公司都有自己的休假政策。)

 (2) I have every reason to believe that you are a liar.
     (我有充份的理由相信你是個騙子。)

 

F. every 只是形容詞﹐不能單獨做主詞或受詞﹐後面也不可緊接 of 片語。以下各例中的 each 都不可改成 every:
 (1) Each had a try.
     (每個人都試了一試。)

 (2) Although the children in this group seem very much alike, the needs of each are different.
     (儘管這組中的孩子們看起來很相像﹐每個孩子的需求卻是不同的。)

 (3) Each of us knows how serious the situation is.
     (我們每個人都知道事態是多麼嚴重。)
