among which与among them的用法详解自己区别

02月15日 编辑 39baobao.com

1. at, in, on

at 一般指小地方;in 一般指大地方或某个范围之内;on 往往表示“在某个物体的表面”。例:

He arrived in Shanghai yesterday. 他昨天到上海。

They arrived at a small village before dark. 他们在天黑前到达一个小村庄。

There is a big hole in the wall. 墙上有个大洞。

The teacher hung a picture on the wall. 老师把一幅画挂在墙上。

2. over, above, on

over, on 和 above 都可表示“在……上面”,但具体含义不同。Over 表示位置高于某物,在某物的正上方,其反义词是under。above 也表示位置高于某物,但不一定在正上方,其反义词是below。On 指两个物体表面接触,一个在另一的上面。例如:

There is a bridge over the river. 河上有一座桥。

We flew above the clouds. 我们飞越云层。

They put some flowers on the teacher's desk. 他们把一些花放在讲桌上。

3. across, through

across 和 through 均可表示“从这一边到另一边”,但用法不同。Across 的含义与 on 有关,表示动作在某一物体的表面进行。Through 的含义与 in 有关,表示动作是在三维空间进行。例如:

The dog ran across the grass. 狗跑过草地。

The boy swam across the river. 那男孩游过河。

They walked through the forest. 他们穿过森林。

I pushed through the crowds. 我挤过人群。

4. in front of, in the front of

in front of 表示“在某人或某物的前面”,在某个范围以外;in the front of 表示“在……的前部”,在某个范围以内。例如:

There are some tall trees in front of the building. 大楼前有一些高大的树。

The teacher is sitting in the front of the classroom. 老师坐在教室前面。

5. among, between

两者都含有“在……中间”的意思。 一般说法是:among 用于“三者或三者以上之间”,而 between 则用于“两者之间”。例如:

I bought three hundred eggs and there was not a single bad one among them. 我买了三百鸡蛋,里面一个坏的也没有。

What's the difference between Asian elephants and African elephants? 亚洲象与非洲象有什么不同?

不过这个定义过于简单。Oxford上对于两者的解释是:"Among" is used of people or things considered as a group. "Between" is used of people or things, either two in number or more than two considered individually.

1) among 除了表示多于两者之间的关系外,更重要是它表达了“在其中”的意思。究竟是多少人或事并不重要,因为他们/它们已经被视为一体。例如:

He stood among the crowd. 他站在人群中。

There is a thief among you. 你们中间有一个是小偷。

She divided the money among her three children. 她把钱分给了她的三个孩子。
