between 英文词源

between

between: [OE] The second syllable of between is related to two and twin; the word as a whole seems to represent an original phrase meaning something like ‘by two each’. Old English betwēonum reflects a Germanic *twēon, reduced from an earlier *twikhnai; this represents the base *twīkh- (from which we get two) plus an -n suffix with apparently some sort of distributive function. The related betwixt comes ultimately from Germanic *twa ‘two’ and the element *-isk- ‘-ish’.
=> twin, two

between (prep.)

Old English betweonum "between, among, by turns," Mercian betwinum, from bi- "by" (see be-) + tweonum dative plural of *tweon "two each" (compare Gothic tweih-nai "two each"). Between a rock and a hard place is from 1940s, originally cowboy slang. Between-whiles is from 1670s.

among, between, amid, amongst

这些前置词均含"在……之间，在……之中"之意。

among：指三者或三者以上的同类事物之间。

between：多指两者之间，但现代英语中也可指三者或三者以上，表示彼此间清楚的独立的个体关系。

amid：正式用词，侧重指在某个地方的中间或被某个东西包围着或在非同类人中间。

amongst与among同义，是among的变体。一般说来among总能替代amongst,而amongst则不然。
