Synonyms & Differences 近义词辨析

Compared meaning: every member of a group, with no exception (adjective).

比较义项:某个群体中的全部成员,强调整体数量或逐一无例外(形容词)。

  • all

    All treats the group as one whole; it goes with a plural or uncountable noun and stresses total quantity, not individual members.

    all把整体看作一个集合,后接复数名词或不可数名词,强调总量而非逐个成员。

    All the students passed their final exams this year.

    今年所有学生都通过了期末考试。

  • every

    Every takes a singular noun and means each one without exception; it typically describes repeated routines or general rules rather than checking individuals one by one.

    every后接单数名词,表示“每一个,毫无例外”,通常用来描述反复出现的习惯或普遍规律,而不是逐个核对个体。

    She checks her email every morning before breakfast.

    她每天早上吃早饭前都会查看邮件。

  • each 本词

    Each also takes a singular noun but focuses on members considered separately, often used for a specific, countable group where individual treatment matters.

    each同样后接单数名词,但强调把每个成员分开看待,常用于人数明确、需要逐一对待的具体群体。

    Each student received a certificate at the ceremony.

    典礼上每位学生都单独领到了一张证书。

All three words mean every member of a group. All treats the group as a whole and takes a plural noun. Every takes a singular noun and means with no exception, often for routines. Each takes a singular noun too, but looks at members individually.

这三个词都能表达“群体中的全部成员”,但侧重点不同:all把整体看作一个集合,强调数量或范围;every强调逐一核查、毫无例外,常用于描述习惯或规律;each则突出把每个成员分开看待,强调个体差异。此处不比较all作副词表示“完全”(如all alone)或each作副词表示“每个,各”(如five dollars each)的用法。

Compared meaning: for each one, individually (adverb).

比较义项:每个,各自(副词)。

  • each 本词

    A common, neutral word for distributing to every individual one; it can stand before a noun or pronoun and appear in many sentence positions, so it fits almost any everyday context.

    each 是表示“每一个”的常见中性词,可以直接放在名词或代词前面,也能出现在句子的多个位置,几乎适用于任何日常语境。

    Each student received a certificate at the ceremony.

    每位学生在典礼上都收到了一张证书。

  • apiece

    An adverb used only after a quantity or price, showing how much each item or person gets or costs; it sounds more formal or written, common in shopping, tickets and sports scores.

    apiece 是副词,只能用在数量或价格之后,表示每件物品或每人所得、所值的量;语气更正式、更偏书面,常见于购物、票价和比分等场合。

    The tickets cost twenty dollars apiece for the concert.

    这场音乐会的门票每张二十美元。

Both words mean for each individual one. Each is common and flexible, and can go before a noun or pronoun in many positions. Apiece is more formal, used only after a quantity or price, as in written or business contexts like shopping and sports scores.

这两个词都表示“每一个”,但用法和语域不同:each 使用更自由、更口语化,常直接修饰名词或代词;apiece 只能放在数量、价格等词语之后作副词,语气更正式,常见于书面或商业语境。
