在英语学习的过程中有三个词经常让大家很疑惑,那就是either,neither和both。这三个词常用来描述两个人或两个物,但是在两个选项之间进行选择的情况却不同,一般来讲,所选择的结果会有“两者选其一”、“两者都有”或者“两者都不”三种。
通常情况下,both 意为“(两者)都”,either意为“(两者中)任意一个”,neither 意为“(两者)都不”
下面通过例子对比来区别这3个词的用法和特点。
1. Richard has two children. Bothare married, (both = the two children) 两个 孩子都结婚了
2. Would you like tea or coffee? Either is ok, (either = tea or coffee) 哪个都可以
3. A: Do you want to go to the cinema or the theatre?
B: Neither. I want to stay at home, (neither = not the cinema or the theatre)
哪都不去
