題目：

between 和 among的區別?

解答：

among,between,amid,amongst
這些前置詞均含"在……之間,在……之中"之意.
among 指三者或三者以上的同類事物之間.
between 多指兩者之間,但現代英語中也可指三者或三者以上,表示彼此間清楚的獨立的個體關係.
among
〔誤〕 If the three apples are divided among the two boys how much will each receive?
〔正〕 If the three apples are divided among the three boys how much will each receive?
〔析〕 among常用於三個事物或人物之間,而between則多用於兩者之間.
