Altogether and all together do not mean the same thing. Altogether means 'in total' or (in BrE) 'completely'. * altogether 和 all together 含义不同。altogether 指总共或完全地(英式英语):◆We have invited fifty people altogether.我们共邀请了五十人。◆I am not altogether convinced by this argument.我不完全信服这一论点。
All together means 'all in one place' or 'all at once'. * all together 指全部在同一地方或同一时间:◆Can you put your books all together in this box?你能把你的书都放进这个箱子里吗?◆Let's sing 'Happy Birthday'. All together now!咱们来唱 “生日快乐”。现在一起唱!
