"either of" 是一个常用的英语短语,用于指代两个可能性或事物中的一个,通常强调在两者之间进行选择或陈述两者都不适用的情况。其核心含义是“两者之一”或“(两者中)任何一个”。以下是其详细解释和用法:
1.基本含义与结构:
either of + [复数名词/代词]
或 either of + [限定词 + 复数名词]
。either of the books
(这两本书中的任何一本), either of them
(他们/她们/它们中的任何一个), either of my parents
(我父母中的任何一位)。Either of the answers **is** correct.
(两个答案中的任何一个都是正确的。) 2.常见用法:
You can choose either of the colors.
(你可以选择这两种颜色中的任何一种。)Would you like either of these cakes?
(你想要这两块蛋糕中的一块吗?)not
或其他否定词(如 never
, no one
)结合时,either of
表示“两者都不”。I don't like either of them.
(他们两个我都不喜欢。)Neither of my keys works.
(Neither
是 either
的否定形式,更常用,意思相同) (我的两把钥匙都不合用。)Do you know either of these people?
(你认识这两个人中的任何一个吗?)Has either of you seen my phone?
(你们俩有谁看到我的手机了吗?) 3.与 any of
的区别:
either of
严格限定在两个选项之间。any of
可以用于两个或两个以上的选项之间。You can take either of the two apples.
(只有两个苹果)You can take any of the apples (on the table).
(桌子上可能有多个苹果)4.搭配与注意事项:
Either of the cars **is** available
)。them
, us
, you
等复数代词。the
, these
, those
, my
, your
, his
, her
, our
, their
等限定词连用。either of the options
, either of these days
, either of his friends
"either of" 是一个用于精确指代两个事物中一个的短语。它强调在两者之间的选择或排除(当用于否定时)。使用时需注意其后接复数名词/代词,但表达单数含义,因此谓语动词通常用单数。它与 any of
的主要区别在于选项的数量限制(两个 vs. 两个或以上)。
参考来源:
“either of”是一个英语短语,通常用于表示两者中的任意一个,强调从两个选项或对象中选择其一。以下是详细解释:
例句:
限定词不可省略
❌ 错误:either of books
✅ 正确:either ofthe books / either ofthese books
仅用于两者
“either”严格指代两个选项,若超过两个需用any of:
✅ Chooseany of the three options(三个选项中的任意一个)
与“neither of”对比
