n.（名詞）
用法
(1)According to a widely repeated but unjustified tradition, 「between is used for two, and among for more than two.」 It is true that between is the only choice when exactly two entities are specified: the choice between (not among ) good and evil, the rivalry between (not among ) Great Britain and France. When more than two entities are involved, however, or when the number of entities is unspecified, the choice of one or the other word depends on the intended sense. Between is used when the entities are considered as distinct individuals; among, when they are considered as a mass or collectivity. Thus in the sentence The bomb landed between the houses, the houses are seen as points that define the boundaries of the area of impact ( so that we presume that none of the individual houses was hit). In The bomb landed among the houses, the area of impact is considered to be the general location of the houses, taken together ( in which case it is left open whether any houses were hit). By the same token, we may speak of a series of wars between the Greek cities, which suggests that each city was an independent belligerent, or of a series of wars among the Greek cities, which allows as well the possibility that the belligerents were shifting alliances of cities. For this reason, among is most appropriate to indicate inclusion in a group:
根據重複多次但沒什麼根據的傳統看法，「between 用於兩者之間，而 among 用於二者以上。」 當只提到兩個實體時，between 確實是唯一的選擇： the choice between （而不用 among ） good and evil（善與惡之間的選擇），the rivalry between （不用 among ） Great Britain and France（英法間的對抗）。 當牽涉到兩個以上實體時，如果實體的數目不確定，選擇其中之一則取決於傾向性。當實體被看作不同的個體時用between ； 當其被看作整體或集合時用among 。 因此在句子The bomb landed between the houses 中，房屋被看作一個限定了中彈地區的界限（ 所以我們假設一所所單獨的房子未被擊中）。在The bomb landed among the houses 中，被中彈地區被看作是房屋的整體地區（ 在這種情形下房屋是否被擊中並未說明）。同樣的表示法，我們可以說a series of wars between the Greek cities， 表示每個城市是獨立的參戰者，我們也可以說a series of wars among the Greek cities， 表示存在某些城市做為聯合參戰者的可能性。 因此，among 最適合表示包括在一群成一組人之內：
She is among the best of our young sculptors.
她是我們年輕的雕塑家中最好的之一。
There is a spy among you (
你們當中有個間諜。（
(2)this last is arguably appropriate even when there are only two addressees; certainly between would be impossible). Between is the preferred choice when the entities are seen as determining the limits or endpoints of a range:
後一句亦可適用於當僅有兩者時的情況；當然between 是不可能的）。 實體被視為確定某範圍的界限或終點時，更適合選擇用between ：
The plane went down somewhere between Quito, Lima, and La Paz.
飛機在基多、利馬和拉巴斯之間的某地墜毀。
The truck driver had obviously been drinking between stops.
卡車司機顯然在中途站間喝了酒
