◇注解1. every 与 each 的区别， 见 each 2. 形容词 every 修饰单数名词，但因为意思指的是全体，所以有时到下一个句子时又会转为复数，如Every book has been catalogued and they are now ready to be shelved. 这类转变在口语中更为常见。 3. everyone 或 everybody 意思是“每人，人人”，后面不能接 of; every one 意思是“每一个”，后面可以接 of, 如： every one of the children, every one of the cups 4. 在 every + 名词组成的表示时间的短语前，不用介词，如： I get up at six every morning. [< ME everich < OE æ-fre æ-lc < æ-fre ever + æ-lc each] |
