用法

(1)between通常用以表示两者之间;但虽有三者以上,而涉及每两者之相互关系时仍用between:

a treaty between three powers

三强之间的条约

The three children saved $100 between them.

那三个孩子共存了100美元。

(2)between为介词,后接代名词时应用受格,但口语上常有人使用:

between you and I

(3)between后接each, every或单数名词并不符合文法规则;例如:

每两幕之间

误:between each act

正:between each act and the next

正:between the acts

每两局之间

误:between every inning

正:after every inning

(4)between之后接两个字或词时应以and相连,而不用to或or相连;如:

误:between1960 to 1970

正:between 1960 and 1970

正:from 1960 to 1970

财富与爱情之间任选其一

误:choose between wealth or love

正:choose between wealth and love
