every和each用法上的区别.doc

every和each同属中位限定词,都可与单数名词连用,且意义相近,表示‘每个’,然而every和each并不完全一样,every强调整体概括,each
则表示个别概念。例如:
Each day is better than the one before.
一天比一天好。
Every player was in good form.
每个运动员都处于最佳状态。
如果不特别强调某一意义时,every和each可以互换。例如:
We want every child to eed.
我们希望每个孩子都成功。
Each child will find his own personal road to ess.
每个孩子将会找到他个人的成功之路。
each可以指两个或两个以上的人或东西,every却不能指两个,只能指三个以上的数量。例如:
Each sex has its own physical and psychological characteristics.
男女各有其身体上和心理上的特点。(不能说every sex...)
另外,如有其他限定词同时修饰中心词,each可作代词取each of的形式,而every则只能作限定词。例如:
Each of my parents gave me presents for Christmas.
过圣诞节时我父母每人都给我送了礼物。
each和every 一般都作限定词,(至少有两个)(至少有三个)中侧重于全体的所有个体,而不在个别的个体, example:Each child has an apple in the student has a new 。"Each child has an apple," is not a very good sentence. It sould be 
Each child has ONE apple.(sounds better) 
Or, Every child has an apple. 
Each侧重What the child has,what status. One apple? Two Apples? or Three Apples?
Every 侧重which type of people, or which people have the status. 
Every child? Half of the child? or boys? 
"each一般指两人而every是指三人以上的" = NONSENSE AT ALL 
Example, 
Each ticket cost . There may be 1000 tickets. 
当有人问门票多少钱时,: EACH ticket costs . 
当有人觉得别是买票便宜,对自己不公平的时候,他会问是不是票分等级,(侧重):EV
