词义辨析

prep. (介词)

between, among

• 这两个介词都可表示“在…之间”。其区别在于:among一般表示在三个或三个以上的人或事物之间,这些人或事物往往构成一个集合体; 而between一般表示在两个人或事物之间, between用来指在三者或三者以上的人或事物之间时,往往强调一方与其他诸方各自之间的关系。

among，between，amid，amongst

• 这些前置词均含“在……之间，在……之中”之意。
• among指三者或三者以上的同类事物之间。
• between多指两者之间，但现代英语中也可指三者或三者以上，表示彼此间清楚的独立的个体关系。
• amid正式用词，侧重指在某个地方的中间或被某个东西包围着或在非同类人中间。
• amongst与among同义，是among的变体。一般说来among总能替代amongst,而amongst则不然。
