Between通常用于between A and B之样的形式。但有时也后接复数名词,表示每两者之间。如between meals指“每两餐之间”。例句:
You shouldn’t eat between meals. 你不应该在两餐之间吃东西。
我想知道更多的相关例句,请专家老师帮忙,非常感谢!
沅老师:
黎老师和张老师的例句都很好,下面从另一个角度对“between+复数名词”的用法作一个归纳:
一、指特定的两者之间
between之后的名词只有两者,则指这特定的两者之间:
The baby crawledbetween her father’s legs. 婴儿在她父亲的双腿中间爬。(人只有两条腿)
Money was always a source of tension betweenher parents. 金钱总是造成她父母关系紧张的根源。(人的父母只有两个)
二、指先后或前后的两者之间
between之后的名词不止两者,即有多者,但它们有一定的先后(或前后)顺序,此时指先后(或前后)的两者之间:
You’re notallowed to get off between stops. 站间不准下车。(指上一站与下一站之间,如A站与B站之间,B站与C站之间等)
Don’t spoil yourappetite by eating sweets between meals. 不要在两顿饭之间吃糖果,以免吃不下饭。(指前一餐与后一餐之间,如早餐与中餐之间,中餐与晚餐之间)
三、指多者的彼此之间
between之后的名词不止两者,即有多者,但它们没有先后顺序,此时则指多者的彼此之间:
There’s no needfor ceremony between friends. 朋友之间不必拘礼。
There is a lot of competition between rivalairlines. 航空公司对手之间竞争不少。
The remote control allows you toswitch easily between TV channels. 遥控器让你在不同电视频道之间轻松地转换。
The incidentshave not yet caused a major rupture in the political ties between countries. 这些事件目前尚未造成国家之间政治关系的严重破裂。
另外,还有一些由“between+复数名词”构成的习语,则需按照各自的用法来理解。
