词语辨析 1 ． all 和 whole 的区别 all 和 whole 意思一样，但用法不同。 all 与复数名词连用时，表示 “ 所有 ” 的意思； 与单数名词连用时，表示 “ 整个的 ” ， “ 全 部的 ” 意思。例如： It's good to see all my teachers and friends again. Must I stay at home all day? 我必须在 家呆一整天吗？

whole 的后面大多数接单数名词，它一般不 能与物质名词连用，不可以说： the whole money ，应该说： all the money （全部的 钱）。例如： The whole village went out to welcome us. 。 注意： all 与 whole 在名词短语中的位置也不 同， all 用于冠词、名（代）词所有格或其他 “ 限定词 ” 之前， whole 则用于冠词、名（代） 词所有格或其他 “ 限定词 ” 之后。 all the time = the whole time all my life = my whole life

2 ． first 和 at first 的区别 first 是一个序数词（第一），也可以是形容 词（最先的，第一的），另外，还可以是副 词（第一次，首先）。例如： First I'd like to say a few words about our homework. He was only a child when I first saw him. at first 与 at the beginning 是 “ 起初 ” 的意思。 At first I didn't like him, but now I do.
