大家学习英文的时候,有没有被这六个词所迷惑过?他们是:neither, either, both, any, all, and none。

其实,每个词都有一个自己的性格,这六个词也不例外哦。下面就让小编给大家透析一下!

  1. either和both是六胞胎中非常相像的一对。both表示两者都,either表示两者中任意一个。大家看下面的两个段子:

I would like to have both coffee and soda to kick-start my day. They are both stimulating (增强活力的) drinks.

I would like to have either coffee or soda to kick-start my day. Either is stimulating.

第一段的前半段说,咖啡和苏打兼要。而第二段的前半段里,咖啡和苏打不可兼得,只能取一个。

大家要注意的是,两个段子的后半段意思基本一致,都是说这两种饮料都可以增强活力。只不过,两段采取了不同的表达方式而已。

所以,either和both有异也有同。性格上来说,both 比 either更 generous (慷慨),而either 更 selective (挑剔) 一些。

  1. neither 表示两者都不。和刚刚介绍的两个代词姐妹相比,neither 的性格像一个 icy queen (冰冷女王)。大家可以参考下面的句子:

Both coffee and soda can lift my spirits, but I want neither of them for my breakfast.

咖啡和苏打都可以提起我的精神,BUT 我谁都不要。

  1. 理解了前面的三胞胎,剩下的三个就容易多了。

all 和 both 意义相近,但是 all 包含三者以上,而 both 只有两者。

none 和 neither 意义相近,但是 none 包含三者以上,而 neither 只有两者。

大家可以类推一下 any 和 either 的区别吗?

没错,any 是 三者(或以上)中任何一个,而 either 只有两者。

例如:The old lady has six daughters, and she loves any one of them. (老太太有六个女儿,她爱她们中的任何一个人。)

接下来,大家就练习一下对这六胞胎的性格掌握程度吧。
