| 词组 | every |
| 释义 | every You use every in front of the singular form of a count noun to indicate that you are referring to all the members of a group and not just some of them. She spoke to every person at the party. I agree with every word Peter says. Every child would have milk every day. This new wealth can be seen in every village. ◊ 'every' and 'all' You can often use every or all with the same meaning. For example, 'Every dog should be registered' means the same as 'All dogs should be registered'. However, every is followed by the singular form of a noun, whereas all is followed by the plural form. Every child is entitled to be educated at the state's expense. I was equally interested in all children. See entry at ↑ ◊ 'each' Instead of every or all, you sometimes use each. You use each when you are thinking about the members of a group as individuals. Each customer has the choice of thirty colours. Each meal will be served in a different room. See entry at ↑ ◊ referring back to 'every' You usually use a singular pronoun such as 'he', 'she', 'him', or 'her' to refer back to an expression beginning with every. Every businessman would do without advertising if he could. However, when you are referring back to an expression such as 'every student' or 'every inhabitant' which does not indicate a specific sex, you usually use they or them. Every passenger and crew member is the doctor's patient, and there's no escape from them. For a fuller discussion of these uses, see entry at ↑ ◊ used with expressions of time You use every to indicate that something happens at regular intervals. They met every day. Every Monday Mr Whymper visited the farm. Note that every and all do not have the same meaning when they are used with expressions of time. For example, if you do something every morning, you do it regularly each morning. If you do something all morning, you spend the whole of one morning doing it. He used to walk into his club every afternoon at three o'clock. Her voice was hoarse. 'You have a cold?' ---'No. It's just from talking all afternoon.' He had been running three miles every day. That person has been following us all day. ◊ 'every other' If something happens, for example, every other year or every second year, it happens one year, then does not happen the next year, then happens the year after that, and so on. We only save enough money to take a real vacation every other year. It seemed easier to shave every second day. |
