单词 | another(the other) |
释义 | another : other , the ~— 84 作“另一个”讲,这两个代词同义,但不能通用:前者含有“别的另外一个”的义蕴。(注:根据字源, another 这个代词是由 an 和 other 合缀而成,而 an 即作“任何”讲,= any 。) 所以在表达只有两者中的一个的场合,才能使用后者。(参见词目 82 和 83 ) 例如: Please show me another. 请另外再拿一个给我看看。(至少已看过一个或两个) To a man like him, it is one thing to speak and another to act. 对他这种人来说,说话是一回事,行动又是一回事。 ( another 是对 one 而言) We must safeguard socialism with a gun in one hand as well as with a pen in the other. 我们要一手拿枪一手拿笔来捍卫社会主义。(一个人只有两只手,所以不说… in another ) The boat rolled from one side to the other. 这艘小船左右摇摆。(不是向左,就是向右,所以也不能说 to another ) 比较: I don't mean that one ; I mean another ( one ).我指的不是那一个,而是指另外一个。(是指几个中的另一个) I don't mean that one ; I mean the other. 我指的不是那一个,而是指另一个。(是指两个中的另一个) One lie must be thatched with another, or it will rain soon through. — Proverb. 说谎话犹如盖茅草房,铺了一层又一层;不然,不多久就要漏雨。(不能只铺两层) One is motherly step-mother, and the other a motherly stepdaughter. 继母像个亲生母亲,继女像个亲生女儿。(一母一女只有两人) There were many ; she took one , I another. 有许多;她拿一个,我也拿一个。 There were two ; she took one , I the other. 有两个;她拿一个,我拿另一个。 |
