英語中,another、other、one another、the other 應該怎麼區別?


謝邀!

Good question. The differences among these can be confusing. I will explain them using examples. (Please pay more attention to "the other" and "another".)

  • "Other" is used to talk about a person or thing that is different from what was previously mentioned.
    • Other than those few mistakes, your homework is perfect.
    • One other thing I want to mention is that you look lovely today.
  • "The other" is "other" with a definite article (the). This indicates the number of other things is known or specified.
    • My team didn"t win. The other team won. (There were only 2 teams that could have won and the other team did.)
    • The other three schools rejected me. (We know 3 schools rejected the person.)
  • Another is "an" and "other" put together. It is "other" with an indefinite article (an) before it. This indicates the number of other things is unknown or unspecified.
    • My team didn"t win. Another team won. (There were several teams that could have won and some team other than mine won.)
    • Another school rejected me. (It is unknown how many schools rejected the person.)
  • "One another" means two people did the same thing to each other.
    • They gave one another birthday presents. (She gave him a birthday present, and he gave her a birthday present.)
    • They constantly tease one another.

I hope this is another helpful answer! :)

我們學習英文的時候,有幾種學習法,下面介紹綠帽學習法:

another, 加單數

女友:i need another boyfriend.有了你一個,還要一個

other, 加複數

女友:i need other boyfriends. 有了你一個,還要至少兩個

others, 等於other boyfriends

所以你就知道他們的基礎關係了,下邊是一個全表


1.other的意思是「[兩個當中]的另一個」「另一些」。表示「[兩個當中]的另一個」的意思時常與定冠詞[the]連用;表示「另一些」的意思時,可用於修飾可數名詞複數形式,

2.others是other+可數名詞的複數形式,可以是other students,也可以直接寫others,但是不能寫others students。the others表示「其餘的」。3.another是「另一個」的意思,指多個東西中的另一個。4.another也有「再....」的意思。例如:Tom has to stay there for another two months.湯姆還得在那裡再呆兩個月

B站那個 A路人 貌似做過一期關於這四個詞的,你去翻翻看吧。


題主

這幾個詞的例句,你各找10句。

把句子里出現的主語或賓語的總數和other後面指代的數量都寫下來。

然後自己理解一下關係就差不多成了。

one another 我用得不多(其實我都沒怎麼見過…怪我孤陋寡聞了)

多看例句,自我理解,不要拘泥於中文翻譯,甚至英英。


英語有詞綴一說,跟中文組詞一樣。

關於a/an這個詞綴。

舉個例子

在酒吧跟一個陌生人聊了一會,回家後妻子問跟誰聊天了,你回答" just a guy」

有一種表示普通 隨機的意思裡面

相比之下the就有特指的意思

"who is jack?"

"the man in women"s wear"


A路人講的個人覺得還是比較容易記住

兩個蘋果 一個是one 另一個是the other

三個蘋果 一個是one 另一個是another

一個是one 剩下的是the others

四個蘋果 一個是one 另兩個是another two

兩個是one 剩下的是others

這僅是代詞用法

一位老師多年前教給我的,不知道我記得還對不對。


什麼玩意兒,初中生也上知乎了嗎?


b站有一個什麼「洋屁教室」 ,言簡意賅,一看就懂


看了@栗子栗子的答案 用中文稍微區別下the other 和another 希望可以幫提主區分

The other可以類比 "The" 的用法 是特指剩下的, 而another 類似 "an" 的用法 是泛指剩下的,another就是an + other


我猜,算了……我也不知道
