1)between一般指“两者之间”,而among用于三个或三个以上的人或物之中,或笼统的一群人或一些物之中,表示“在……中间”。例如:①Between the door and the windows there is a map.门和窗户的中间有一张地图。②What's the difference between the two words?这两个词之间有什么区别?③The young people lived and worked among the workers.那些年青人生活、工作在工人之中。④They divided the money among(或 between) themselves.他们自己把钱分了。(注:用among,they至少是三个人;用between, they是两个人。)【注意】我们可以说between you and me,但不能说 between you and I,因为between是介词。2)between还可以用来指三个或三个以上的人或物的每两个之间。三个或三个以上的名词用and连接,前面用between,而不用among。例如:①Near the cemetery, between the trees, there is something shining, perhaps bayonets. 在墓地附近,树丛中间,有什么东西闪闪发亮,可能是刺刀。②There does not seem much difference between the three of them.这三者之间似乎没有很大的区别。③Switzerland lies between France, Germany, Austria and Italy.瑞士位于法、德、奥、意之间。可能是这三个中每两个之间比较3)among可用来表示一个比较的范围,=one of,常与最高级连用。例如:①Yokohama is among(= one of) the largest seaports in the Far East.横滨为远东最大港口之一。我认为应该改是among 题目可能有点问题。 |
