The uses of Everyone and Every one
Hello！ This week on Ask a Teacher we answer a question from Abdumajid in Uzbekistan。
你好！在本週的問答節目中，我們來回答來自烏茲別克Abdumajid提出的一個問題。
Can you tell me （with） the uses of “Everyone ” and “Every one？” Thanks in advance。 Abdumajid， Uzbekistan
你能告訴我Everyone和Every one的用法嗎？非常感謝。
Dear Abdumajid，
親愛的Abdumajid，
Thanks for writing to us。 These words are like some others that can be hard to understand for English learners。 Let us begin with “everyone。” It is a singular pronoun used when we talk about a group of people。 Here is an example：
謝謝你給我們來信。這些詞就像其他有的單詞一樣，英語學習者會難以理解。我們先從everyone開始，這是我們談論一群人時所使用的單數代詞。下面有一個例句：
Danny brought enough birthday cake for everyone to eat。
Danny帶了足夠大家吃的生日蛋糕。
You can use “everybody” in the same way as “everyone。” This is a good test of whether “everyone” is the correct form for your statement。 You should always be able to use “everybody” instead of “everyone。”
你可以像使用everyone一樣使用everybody。從這一點可以判斷出你使用everyone的形式是否正確。你應該經常使用everybody，少用everyone。
Everybody gave money for Danny‘s birthday presents。
每個人都出了錢給Danny買生日禮物。
Every one
每一個人
Now let’s discuss “every one。” We use this expression to talk about the individuals or individual things in a group。 The expression often follows a general statement and comes before the word “of。” Returning to the birthday party， we can find this example：
下面我們來探討every one。我們用這個短語來談論群體中的個人或個體事物。這個短語通常跟在陳述句之後，在單詞of之前。再回到生日派對，我們可以看到這個例句：
Danny got six presents and every one of them made him smile。
Danny收到了六份禮物，每一份都讓他喜笑顏開。
Note that we cannot use the singular pronouns “everyone” or “everybody” to talk about objects。 We only use them for people。 But we can use “every one” if we want to talk about people or things。 For example，
注意，我們不能用單數代詞everyone或everybody來談論物體，只能用來表示人。但是如果想談論人或事，可以用every one。例如：
At the end of the party， every one of the guests thanked Danny for inviting them。
在晚會結束時，每個客人都對Danny的邀請表達了感謝。
That statement tells us that， as each guest left， they individually said “Thank you” to Danny。
這句話告訴了我們，每位客人再離開時，都對Danny說了“謝謝”
Anyone
任何人
A similar set of words is “anyone” and “any one。” The same rule is true of these： you can use “anyone” or “anybody” only for people and you can use “any one，” that is， two separate words， for people or objects。 Here are examples：
類似的一組單詞是anyone和any one。同樣的規則：anyone或anybody只能用於表示人，然而，對於人或物可以使用any one，也就是這兩個單詞。下面是例句：
Did anyone lose their keys？ I found these on the table。
有人的鑰匙丟了嗎？我在桌子上發現了這些鑰匙。
There are five cars in driveway。 The keys could be for any one of them。
車道上有五輛汽車。鑰匙可能是他們其中一個人的。
I hope this helps you understand the difference between “everyone” and “every one，” Abdumajid。 Remember that “everyone” is for groups of people and “every one” is for individual objects or people。
Abdumajid，我希望這能有助於你理解everyone和every one之間的區別。記住everyone指的是一群人，而every one指的是個體的人或物。
