英汉词典

All is often used to mean the same as whole but when used in front of plurals, all and whole have different meanings. For example, if you say 'All the buildings have been destroyed', you mean that every building has been destroyed. If you say 'Whole buildings have been destroyed', you mean that some buildings have been destroyed completely. Note that when all is used to consider a group, this means that the group has more than two members. To refer to two people or things, you use both. Tony and Nigel both laughed. You use every to refer to all the members of a group that has more than two members. He listened to every news bulletin. ...an equal chance for every child. You use each to refer to every person or thing in a group when you are thinking about them as individuals. Note that each can be used to refer to both members of a pair. Each apartment has two bedrooms... We each carried a suitcase. Note that each and every are only used with singular nouns.
all的含义通常与whole相同，但用于复数名词前时，两者意义不同。例如，All the buildings have been destroyed 意为所有大楼都被毁了。若说Whole buildings have been destroyed 则意为一些大楼被整栋摧毁了。注意当all用来指一个团体时，该团体有两个以上的成员。若指两者，用both，例如：Tony and Nigel both laughed（托尼和奈杰尔都笑了）。every用于指包括两个以上成员的团体的所有成员：He listened to every news bulletin（每次新闻简报他都听），an equal chance for every child(所有孩子都享有的平等机会）。each用于指被视作个体的每位团体成员。注意each也可指两者中的任一个：Each apartment has two bedrooms (每套公寓都有两间卧室），We each carried a suitcase（我俩每人拎一个箱子）。注意each和every只和单数名词连用。
