這兩者均可表示“像，相似”。

A． alike是表語形容詞，只能在句中作表語及后置定語。它常用much， very much， exactly等修飾，不用very修飾。like是普通形容詞，可與alike一樣在句中作表語，另外也可以作前置定語。

The twins are very much alike. 這對雙胞胎非常相似。(不能用very修飾。)

The two towers are very like.這兩座塔很相似。（可用very修飾。）

They are alike in size and shape.它們在大小形狀上很相似。（作表語時也可用like。）

I have a red skirt. Mary’s skirt is just of a like kind.我有一條紅色連衣裙?，旣惖娜棺泳拖襁@種樣子。（作前置定語時不可用alike。）

B． alike還可作副詞，表示“同樣地”。like則可作介詞，表示“像”。

They were dressed alike in blue coats. 他們同樣都穿了藍色外衣。

We got on well like old friends. 我們處得像老朋友一樣。

[易混詞語]every/each

[辨辨練練]

A.用 each 或 every填空：

1.________ of the boys is going to speak at the meeting this afternoon.

2.________ child knows it.

3. Two boys came in. ________ boy was carrying a box.

4. He gave the children one apple________.

5.________ one of the workers is working hard.

[一語擊破]

each 和every都有“每個”的意思，但它們在用法上有所不同。

A. each 著重于個別的含義。

every 著重于全體的含義，和 all 的意思相近。例如：

Each student has an English book. 每個學生都有一本英語書。

Every student must study well.每個學生都必須好好學習。

第二個例句中的 every student 相當于 all the students.

B. each 可以用來指兩個以上的人或東西，但是every 卻總是指三個以上的人或東西，不能指兩個。試譯：街道兩旁有許多商店。

誤：There are many shops on every side of the street.

正：There are many shops on each side of the street.

C. every只能用作定語，each不僅可以作定語，兩且能像名詞一樣作主語、賓語和同位語。試譯：每個人都有自己的名字。

誤：Every has own name.

正：Each has his own name.
