each和every的区别(each和every有什么区别?)

What is the difference between ‘each’ and ‘every’
Today we answer a question from Sandra M.
今天我们来回答Sandra提出的一个问题。
She writes, “Hello! Could you tell me, please, what is the difference between ‘each’ and ‘every’… Which option is correct: each cell or every cell”
她写道:“你好!你能告诉我each和every有什么区别吗?each cell和every cell哪个是正确的?
Dear Sandra,
亲爱的Sandra:
Thank you for writing to us.
谢谢你给我们写信。
Yes, “each” and “every” are very similar words. I admit, sometimes I have to think about which one to use!
each和every的确是非常相似。我承认,有时候我也必须要考虑到底用哪一个!
In general, you use “each” when you are talking about one individual object or person. “Every” is used for a group of objects, or people that you group together.
当谈论单个的物或人时,一般用each。every用来表示一组物体或一组人。
For example, you can say:
例如,你可以说:
Each tree in the forest is different, but every tree is beautiful.
森林里的每一棵树(each tree)都是不同的,但每棵树(every tree)都很漂亮。
Here’s another example. The American poet Maya Angelou said:
这是另一个例句。美国诗人Maya Angelou说过:
“I believe that every person is born with talent.”
“我相信每个人(every person)都有与生俱来的天赋。”
She used “every” because she was talking about all people. But if she wanted to point out that we are not all good at the same things, she could have added:
她用every是因为她指的是所有人。但如果她想指出,我们并不都擅长同一件事,她可以补充说:
“Each person has a different talent, just like each person has a different voice.”
“每个人(each person)都有不同的天赋,就像每个人(each person)都有不同的声音一样。”
Now, let’s answer your question. Use “each cell” if you are talking about individual cells, or cells that are not the same. For example:
下面我们来回答你的问题。如果你谈论的是单个的细胞,或不同的细胞,要使用each cell。例如:
Each cell has a specific purpose. One cell becomes part of a heart, one cell becomes part of a lung, and one cell becomes part of a brain.
每个细胞(each cell)都有其特定的用途。一个细胞成为心脏的一部分,一个细胞成为肺的一部分,一个细胞成为大脑的一部分。
But if you say, “Every cell in your body has a wall,” you are talking about the group of cells in your body, and how they are all alike.
但如果你说:“身体里的每个细胞(each cell)都有一堵墙”,你是在说身体里的细胞群,以及它们是多么的相似。
By the way, you can also put “each” and “every” together in the same sentence to show you have a strong opinion. Like this:
当然,你也可以把each和every放在同一个句子里,以起强调的作用。例如:
“I want each and every one of you to know we believe you can be good English speakers!”
“我希望你们每一个人(each and every one)都知道,我们相信你们能说一口流利的英语!”
