【问】 《大学英语·精读》第二册(上海外语教育出版社，P.58)有这样一道练习题(用括号中所给词的适当形式填空)：

His——(surprise)recovery delighted everyone of us.

请问everyone of us的用法是否正确?

【答】 everyone of us的用法是错误的。F.T.Wood指出：“Even for people two words must beused when the sense is ‘every single one’.”LDCE则进一步指出：Everyone(or everybody)canonly be used of people and is never followed by ‘of’.”由此看出，从语义上说，当指“每一单个的人”时，必须使用every one;从惯用法说，everyone之后绝不可以跟“of”，而必须使用everyone of的结构。请注意下面例句中的every one of结构：

1. Every one of them was mud-stained. (CGEL)

他们个个都是满身粘着泥。

2. Every one of the girls received a magnificent prize.(CGEL)

这些女孩全都得到了丰厚的奖品。

3. Every one of us has faults and shortcomings.

我们每个人都有缺点和错误。

4. Every one of his children has been clever.

他的孩子个个都聪明伶俐。

请注意下面各例中的everyone只能指人，并且不能与of结构连用：

1. Everyone thinks they have a right to be here.(CGEL)

每个人都认为有权在这里。

2. Everyone over eighteen now has a vote(CGEL)

现在凡十八岁以上的人都有选举权。

3. Everyone laughed，me included. (Snow)

大家都笑了，包括我在内。
