用法
Every is representative of a large class of English words and expressions that are singular in form but felt to be plural in sense. The class includes, for example, noun phrases introduced by every, any, and certain uses of some. These expressions invariably take a singular verb; we say Every car has (not have ) been tested. Anyone is (not are ) liable to fall ill. But when a sentence contains a pronoun whose antecedent is introduced by every, grammar and sense pull in different directions. The grammar of these expressions requires a singular pronoun, as in Every car must have its brakes tested, but people persist in using the plural pronoun, as in Every car must have their brakes tested. Although the latter pattern is common in the speech of all groups, it is still widely regarded as grammatically incorrect in writing. · The effort to adhere to the grammatical rule leads to various complications, however. The first is grammatical. When a pronoun refers to a phrase containing every or any that falls within a different independent clause, the pronoun cannot be singular. Thus it is simply not English to say Every man left; he took his raincoat with him. Nor can one say No one could be seen, could he? Writers unwilling to use plural forms in these examples must find another way of expressing their meaning, either by rephrasing the sentence so as to get the pronoun into the same clause (as in Every man left, taking his raincoat with him ) or by substituting another word for every or any (as in All the men left; they took their raincoats with them. ) · The second complication is political. When a phrase introduced by every or any refers to a group containing both men and women, what shall be the gender of the singular pronoun? This matter is discussed in the Usage Note at he. See Usage Note at all, any, each, either, he 1neither, none
Every 是一大類英語單詞和短語的代表， 它們在形式上是單數的，但在意義上感覺起來卻是複數。例如，這一類詞中所包括的由every，any 和某些用法中的 some 所引導的名詞短語。 這些短語毫無例外的跟單數動詞，我們說每輛車都已 （不是 have ） 被測試過。 每個人都（不是 are ） 會生病 。 但是當一個句子中包括一個由先行詞every 引導的代詞時， 從句法和意義上就要區分不同的情況了。像每一輛車必須測試它的制動器 這樣的表達法在語法上要求使用一單數代詞， 但人們總習慣於用複數代詞，像Every car must have their brakes tested 這樣。 雖然後面這種形式在各種團體的講話中非常普遍，但它在寫作中仍廣泛地被認為是語法上的錯誤。無論如何，堅持語法規則的努力總會導致各種各樣的複雜問題。首先是語法上的複雜性。當一個代詞指代一個短語，而這個短語中包括every 或 any 屬於另一個與此代詞所在子句不同的獨立子句中時， 這個代詞不能用單數形式。因此很容易理解英國人為何不說每個人離開時，都拿著各自的雨衣 ， 也不說沒有人會被看到，不是嗎？ 。 不願意在這些例子中用複數形式的書寫者必須找到另外一種表達他們意思的方法，或者可以通過重新改變句子的說法以使代詞與其指代的短語同屬一個從句中（如Every man left， taking his raincoat with him ）， 或者通過以另一個詞代替every 或 any 的方法（如 All the man left；they took their raincoats with them ）。 第二是政治上的複雜性。當一個被every 或 any 引導的短語指代的一個團體中既有男人又有女人時， 單數代詞的詞性怎麼確定呢？這個問題在單詞he的用法說明中將被討論 參見 all， any， each， either， he1neither， none
