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。
