词组 mutual
释义 1.their mutual affection for each other(或 one another)等表达方式里的 mutual 或 for each other(或 one another)是多余的,该改作 their affection for each other(或 one another)或 their mutual affection。同样地,exchange,interchange,agreement,cooperation 等词前面不该用 mutual。下面各句里的 mutually 也该删去:
They love each other mutually.
They exchange goods mutually.
They agree mutually.
They cooperate mutually.

2.严格地说,mutual 是“互相的”,不是“共同的”,说“共同的”该用 common。如假定你爱某人,我也爱某人,那末你我两人有 common love,并没有 mutual love,假定你爱我,我也爱你,你我两人才有 mutual love。把 mutual 用作“共同的”解和把 mutually 用作“共同地”解是英美人常有的错误。
mutual friend 和 mutual acquaintance 用作“共同的朋友”和“共同的相识者”解照理论讲当然是错的。但这两种表达方式很普通,可以算得成立了。common friend 和 common acquaintance 有可能被人误解作“寻常的……”。最好用 a friend in common 和 an acquaintance in common。
