14.

each otherone another

(a)

只可做受詞,不可做主詞。 

(b)

一般文法書裡 都說 each other 是指兩者互相, one another則指三者或更多,但這條規則並沒有反應在實際用法上,許多人都是將這兩個詞語不分區別的使用著。

(c)

each other 的所有格為 each other's,不是 each others'; one another 的所有格是 one another's,不是 one anothers'。 必須注意的是它們後面的名詞都是複數,不可用單數。 

(1)

The two brothers look like each other (or one another). 
(這兩兄弟的相貌彼此相像。) 

(2)

The three sisters gave presents to one another (or each other) at Christmas. 
(這三姐妹互贈聖誕禮物。) 

(3)

They know each other's (or one another's) weak points.
(他們知道彼此的弱點。) 

()

(a)

若非指某一件事,而是指平常都是如此的事,以用 one another 較為普遍。 如:

Brothers and sisters should help one another.(兄弟姐妹應該互相幫助。) 

(b)

副詞兼形容詞的 else 和 other 一樣也作 "其他的、別的" 講,後者是放在被修飾的名詞或 one 之前,前者則用於疑問詞 when, where, how, who, what, 或 somewhere等之後,或用於不定代名詞 little, much, all 等之後,或用於 somebody, anybody 等之後,或用於 or else 片語中。   如: 

(1)

He was born in Taiwan, but he was brought up somewhere else  (or some other place). 
(他在臺灣出生的,但是在別的地方長大的。)

(2)

It must be here; I have looked for it everywhere else.
(他一定是在這裡,其他的每一個地方我都找過了。)

(3)

Who else is coming?(別的還有誰要來?) 

(11)

Little else (= Not much more) remains to be done. 
(沒有剩下什麼事要做的了。 ) 

(12)

He must be joking, or else he's mad.
(他一定在開玩笑,不然他是瘋了。)

(13)

Do what I say, or else.(照我說的做,否則...〔要你好看〕。)

(c)

所有格 somebody's else, everybody's else 等都是過去的用法,如今卻都用somebody else's, everybody else's。唯一的例外是 "who else" 的所有格偶然會用 whose else,不過這只限於後面不是緊接著名詞。   如:

(1)

That must be somebody else's umbrella; it isn't mine. 
(那一定是別人的傘,不是我的。)

(2)

Who else's umbrella can it be?(它可能是其他什麼人的傘呢?)

15.
