表达每个人还在用 everyone 或 everybody 吗?快来学习一个鲜为人知的

Every 是家喻户晓的一个单词,它的主要使命是修饰其他的成分,指一组事物或一群人中的所有成员,意为“每一个,每个,人人”,这也是它与 each 的主要区别之一;它还用于合成其他的不定代词,最常见的就是 everyone 和 everything.


Every 常用于组成其他的复合词,如 everyone,everybody 或 everything 等等,组合后的不定代词所强调的也是所有的成员;作主语时,谓语动词毫无疑问用单数,例如:
Everyone cheered and clapped.
人人都鼓掌欢呼。
Everyone has a chance to win.
每个人都有机会赢。
Everyone brought their partner to the party.
人人都携伴参加聚会。
When we confronted him, he denied everything.
我们与他当面对质时,他什么都不承认。

此时的 everyone 可以用 everybody 来代替,它们两个都意为 every person,经常被互换使用,但是有人觉得 everyone 比 everybody 更正式。
需要注意的是,everyone 这样的复合词,很多人经常会把它与其对应的短语 every one 混淆起来;虽然只差一个空格,但是用法相差甚远;every one 通常与万人迷 of 连用,表示某个范围内的所有人,也是它唯一的用法,此时的 every one 不能用 everyone 代替,例如:
我们每个人都应该从这个例子中学习。
Every one of us should learn from this example. (正确)
Everyone of us should learn from this example. (错误)
我母亲要感谢你们每一位在她生病期间提供帮助的人。
My mother would like to thank every one of you who offered assistance during her illness. (正确)
My mother would like to thank everyone of you who offered assistance during her illness. (错误)
每一只大猫都跑得很快。
Every one of the large cats is a fast runner. (正确)
Everyone of the large cats is a fast runner. (错误)

看惯了 everyone 或 everybody,你会以为人生就真的是这样了;其实还有一个短小精悍的短语也可以表示 everyone,它就是 one and all,表示 everyone 或 all people,例如:
Welcome, one and all, to the most advanced theme park in the world!
欢迎大家来到世界上最先进的主题公园!
I would like to thank one and all for joining us on this beautiful day.
在这美好的一天,我要感谢所有人加入我们。
"Good morning to one and all." said Jane as she walked through the outer office.
“大家早上好。”简走过外面的办公室时说。
Let's hope that this turns out to be a wonderful party for one and all.
让我们希望这次聚会对所有人来说都是一次精彩的聚会。
