用法

(1)a)both the+复数名词,不如用both+复数名词来得普通。

b)both (the) brothers较为正式,且比both of the brothers更受欢迎。

c)the both of us属粗心的误用,应以both of us为宜。

(2)both有强调两人[两者]之意,故在下例中不宜使用:

His new novel is excellent in both motif, plot and style.

他的新小说在主题、结构、文体方面都很优秀。

(3)The books are both alike.

They both came to the party together.

如上例句中将both与as well as, equally, alike, together等字词连用,在语意上似嫌重复,因此, both一字可去掉。

(4)both A and B的形式中, A, B两者以用相等的词类或构造为宜:

both in China and in Japan

但也许是说起来较顺口的缘故,常有人说成

both in China and Japan

反义词
