  • 词义辨析
  • between, among
  • 这两个介词都可表示“在…之间”。它们的区别在于:among一般表示在三个或三个以上的人或事物之间,这些人或事物往往构成一个集合体; 而between一般表示在两个人或事物之间, between用来指在三者或三者以上的人或事物之间时,往往强调一方与其他诸方各自之间的关系。
  • among,between,amid,amongst
  • 这些前置词都含“在……之间,在……之中”之意。
    among指三者或三者以上的同类事物之间。
    between多指两者之间,但现代英语中也可指三者或三者以上,表示彼此间清楚的独立的个体关系。
    amid正式用词,侧重指在某个地方的中间或被某个东西包围着或在非同类人中间。
    amongst与among同义,是among的变体。一般说来among总能替代amongst,而amongst则不然。
