every可用于所有格的后面吗

问题描述

every可用于所有格的后面吗？比如可以说 the teacher’s every word 吗？

老师答疑

刘老师：

在every word之前，再加上一个定语是没有问题的，如形容性物主代词my, his等。由此推断，用名词所有格形式也没问题。但是，考虑到两个定语都放在一个名词之前，如the teacher’s every word显得修饰语不匀称，建议使用of the teacher的形式：every word of the teacher。请比较以下例句：

His every phrase is salted with personality. 他的一言一语都富有个性。

He was a magical shooter in our squad and his every shot did execution in battle. 他是咱班里的神枪手,打起仗来真是百发百中。

Carrie watched his every movement with pleasure. 嘉莉以欣喜的心情注意着他的一举一动。

It was she who guided my every step in the working-class movement.是她在工人运动中指导我的每一步行动。

She sat in the corner, watching my every move.她坐在角落里，注视着我的一举一动。

They echoed every word of their leader.   他们随声附和他们领导人的每句话。

But people who believed every word of the Bible thought that God had made all creatures and Man. 而笃信《圣经》的人认为所有的生物和人类都是上帝创造的。

She drank in every word of the principal's lecture. 她全神贯注地听校长演讲的字字句句。

The children were following every word of the story intently. 孩子们一字不漏地专心听故事。

波老师：

所有格后面可以跟 every 的，下面是找到的一个例子： Have you ever seen a cat follow a bird’s every movement? 你见过猫注视着鸟的一举一动的情形吗?——摘自《英语词汇用法手册》（L.G.亚历山大）
