between可用于三者吗?请举例说明,谢谢!
老师答疑
李老师:
between 用于三者主要见于以下几种情况:
一是用于用 and 连接的三者或多者。如:
The province of Henan is located between Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces. 河南省位于河北、山西、陕西、湖北、安徽、江苏和山东之间。
Early man didn’t know how to explain the difference between gases, solids and liquids. 古时的人不知道如何解释气体、固体和液体之间的差别。
二是用于指三者或多者之间的每两者之间。如:
The common link between the three artists is their age. 三位艺术家的共通之处是他们的年龄。
He and colleagues have shuttled back and forth between the three capitals. 他和同事们在这3个首都之间往来穿梭。
三是用于share, divide, distribute等动词后(此时等among)。如:
He divided his money between [among] his five sons. 他把钱分给了他的5个儿子。
四是当表示三个或三个以上的事物彼此之间的差异、区别、矛盾或竞争关系时,between常与difference, distinction, contradiction, competition, rivalry, relation, division等名词连用。如:
It’s difficult to make exact distinctions between all the meanings of a word. 辨别一个单词所有含义间的差异是困难的。
