| 单词 | among(between) |
| 释义 | among ： between — 69 1a. 前者这个介词是作“其中”讲，引导的人和物总是 3 个和 3 个以上；后者则是“其间”的意思，引导的人和物一定是两个（参见词目 68 和 70 ）。 例如： Let's go among the masses. 让我们到群众中去。 Let's seek common ground among ourselves while reserving slight differences. 让我们求大同存小异吧。 比较： Among the strong, there is always stronger. 强中自有强中手。（ the strong 不止两人） This matter is between ourselves. 这件事不足为外人道。（ ourselves ＝ you and me ） 1b. 如果在相互之间有着共同的关系或交叉的牵连，即使是 3 个或 3 个以上，也要用后者，不用前者。 例如： Located between Europe, Asia and Africa ， the Mediterranean Sea is about 2.5 million square kilometres in size. 位于欧、亚、非三洲之间的地中海面积约为 250 万平方公里。 The relation between all countries and between all parties must be built on the principles of equality and noninterference in each other's internal affairs. 各国之间的关系和各党之间的关系必须建立在平等和互不干涉内政的原则之上。 1c. 因此，同 divide 、 share 等一类动词的搭配，也要使用后者，不用前者。 例如： I divided my time between teaching, writing and lecturing. 我把时间分作教书、写作和讲学之用。 He shares his property between his wife, his daughter and his sister. 他把财产分给妻子、女儿和姐姐。 比较： I divided my time between teaching, writing and lecturing. 我把时间分作教书、写作和讲学之用。（ time 是个抽象名词） She divided the cake among ／ between her five guests. 她把蛋糕分给 5 位客人。（ cake 是个具体名词，两者可以通用） |
