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

  1. 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)。
  2. 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。)
  3. 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)
  4. 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

  1. 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。
  2. That is another question. 那是另外一个问题。
  3. 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。)
  4. I have other books besides these. 除了这些书以外,我还有其它一些书。
  5. Some say yes, and others say no. 有些人说对,有些人说不对。
  6. 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。
  7. 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。
  8. 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。)
