Other 和 Another 用法差异
Other 和 Another 用法差异
一、other(前加定冠词 the)用于两人或两事物中的“另一个”,而 another 用于不定数目中的另一个
- Henry holds a pair of sunglasses in one hand, and his portable phone in the other. 亨利一手拿一副太阳镜,另一手拿移动电话(或手机)。
- I have finished this book. Please give me another. 我已读完这本书。请再给我一本书读读。(注意:不能用 the other。只有当对方只有两本书时,才可用 the other。此外,也不能说:Please give me one book again. 汉语中的“再”不完全等于 again。)
- To know is one thing; to teach is another. 自己知道是一件事,而教别人是另一回事。(只要作者或说话人在上文中未明确提出“要注意两件事”,就不要用 the other 代替 another)
- No other university in China has so many students as our university (has). 在中国没有另外一个大学像我校那样有那么多的学生。
二、another (由 an + other 构成) 大多用于单数,而 other 用于单复数均可,视需要而定;others 是代词复数
- One is a worker, another is a peasant, and a third is a soldier. 一个是工人,另一个是农民,还有一个是军人。
- That is another question. 那是另外一个问题。
- Joe is walking along the other side of the street. 乔正沿着街道另一侧步行。(街道只有两侧,故另一侧不能用 another side。)
- I have other books besides these. 除了这些书以外,我还有其它一些书。
- Some say yes, and others say no. 有些人说对,有些人说不对。
- There were 30 students in our class. Twenty of them went to the net friend club, and the others (或 the other students) stayed here. (那时)我班有 30 个学生。其中 20 个去了网友俱乐部,而其余学生留在这里。
- On the other hand, they have a game every other day. 另一方面,他们每隔一天有一次比赛。
- The other day I saw them talk with each other. 前几天我看见他们相互交谈。
注:another 有时用于复数名词前,表示“另外再…”之意。如:The meat has to cool for another five minutes (或 five more minutes). 肉还得再煮五分钟。(言外之意,已煮了五分钟。)
