“每隔……”的表达法、译法、转换及注意事项
1. “every+基数词(大于或等于2)+复数名词” 意思是“每……”。例如:
The old man went to hospital every five days.
那老汉每五天/每隔四天就去看一次病.

他们将在每十个姑娘里挑选一个。

我们每隔两天(每三天)交一次作业。
I
every three
days=every third day 每隔两天(或者译为每三天)
Take the medicine every four hours. 每四小时服药一次。
:every
因此every
。
2.
“every+序数词(大于或等于2)+单数名词”意思是“每第……”。例如:
I go home every fourth week.我每四个星期回家一次。
The Olympic Games
are held every fourth year. 奥林匹克运动会每四年/每隔三年举办一次。
He comes to see his uncle every third
week.他每三周/每隔两周来看望他的叔叔。
3. “every other +基数词(大于或等于2) +复数名词” 意思是“每隔……”。例如:
因此every two
days=every other day 每隔一天(或者译为每两天)
I
I had to sit down and rest every other four minutes. 我每隔4分钟就得坐下休息。
4. “every other +零基数词(等于1)+单数名词”
意思是“每隔一……”。例如:
He
Take this medicine every other day. 这药每两天/每隔一天服一次。
Please write down these new words on every other line. 请把这些生词隔行写下来。
5.“every few +复数名词” 意思是“每隔几……” 。例如:

二、译法:
1. 从上面的例句中可以看出,在“every+基数词(大于或等于2)+复数名词;
every+序数词(大于或等于2)+单数名词”中,在表示空间一点和时间时,every
既可译成“每……”,也可译成“每隔……”。译成“每隔……”时,汉语和英语不同,要在英语所给数字中减去一,即(n-1),但表示距离时,译成“每……”或“每隔……”,在意义上差别不大,英汉互译在数字上则是一致的。例如:
The doctor told him to take the medicine every four hours/every
fourth hour. 医生让他每四个小时/每隔三小时吃一次药。
I write to him every two weeks/every second week. 我每两周/每隔一周给他写封信。

要求我们在马路两旁每隔/每20米栽一棵树。
Change the oil in the car every 5,000 miles.
每行5000里给汽车换一次油。
2. 当every所修饰的数字大到一定程度时,译成“每……”或“每隔……”,意义上差别不大。例如:
The doctor visits
his mother every hundred days. 这位医生每/每隔一百天去看望他母亲一次。
Mary goes to see
her grandparents every three days/every third day/every other two
days.
四、注意事项:every和each虽为同义词,但在表达“每隔……”时,不能用each来替代every。
