学大教育李文杰老师答疑：each与every都有“每个”的意思，但二者含义及语法功能不同，主要区别是：

　　1. each既可用 作形容词，又可用作代词，在句中可以作定语，主语、宾语、同位语

　　Each studen t has his own dictionary . (形容词，定语)

　　Each has hi s good point . (代词，主语)

　　Our head teacher had a ta lk with each of us . (代词，宾语)

　　The students each h ave a desk . (代词，同位语)

　　The children can have a b ag each . (副词，状语)

　　2. each与every都可用作形容词，在句中作定语，但ea ch更强调个人或个别，every更强调全体或全部。比较：

　　I know each number of your family .

　　I know every number of your f amily .

　　3. each指两个或两个以上的人或事物中的“每个”；every是指许多人或事物 的“全体”，与all的意思相近。试译：

　　这条街上每边都有很多商店。

　　［误］There are ma ny shops on every side of the street .

　　［正］There a re many shops on each side of the street .

　　我给她父母每人 一件礼物。

　　［误］I gave a present to every one of her par ents .

　　［正］I gave a present to each of her parents .

　　4. 指上下文提到过的确定数目中的“每一个”时，要用each；如果上下文没有提及时，不能用ea ch，要用everyone等。试译：

　　我认为这三个答案个个都正确。［误］I think ever y answer of the three is right .

　　［正］I think each of the three answers is right .

　　我看见人人都忙着工作。 ［误］I saw each was bu sy with his work .

　　［ 正］I saw everyone was busy with his work .
