another和other有什么区别

What's the difference between these two words?

If you're learning English, words like this might seem a little confusing or maybe even frustrating.

这两个单词之间有什么区别呢？

如果你正在学习英语的话，这种单词可能看起来有点点令人困惑，甚至是令人垂头丧气。

I'm Emma from mmmEnglish and today I'm going to explain the difference between 'other' and 'another' and show you how to use each of those words correctly.

Well I'm ready to get started, are you?

我是Emma，欢迎来到Emma的美味英语，今天呢我要给大家解释一下‘other’和‘another’的区别，带领大家看一下如何正确地使用这两个单词。好的，我已经蓄势待发了，你们呢？

. . . . . . He lives on the other side.

他住在另一边。他住在另一边。

He lives on another side. Are they really that different?

它们之间真的有那么不同吗？它们真的非常相似，那就是它们为什么复杂的原因，但是它们并不是完全相同的。

They're definitely similar and that's what's tricky about them but they're not the same.

Let's talk about the meaning of these two words first.

让我们先来讨论这两个单词的意思吧。‘Other’的意思是另外的或者是额外的。

'Other' can mean additional or extra. What other countries has he travelled to besides France?

除了法国之外，他还去过什么其他的国家呢？我知道他去过法国，但是除了法国之外，他还去过哪里呢？

So I know that he's travelled to France but what additional countries has he travelled to other than France or apart from France?

Now another can also mean additional or extra.

‘another’也有额外的意思。但并不完全一样。

But it's not exactly the same. We use 'another' to say one more.

我们会使用‘another’来说另一个。如果你饿了的话，还有一个三明治。

There's another sandwich if you're hungry.

So that means, well you've already had a sandwich but now I'm offering you more.

所以那就意味着，你已经有了三明治，但是我现在在给你另外一个。

所以‘other’和‘another’都可以意味着另外的或者是额外的，但是它们还都可以指不同的或者是替代的。

So both 'other' and 'another' can mean additional or extra but they can also both mean different or alternative. I can ask:

我可以问：你有其他类型的果汁吗？

Do you have any other types of juice?

So I don't want that type of juice, I want to know if there are alternatives, other types of juice, different ones from the juice that I've been offered.

所以我并不想要那种果汁，我想要知道是不是有替代的，其他类型的果汁，和我有的果汁不同的。‘another’和‘other’很相似，但是并不完全相同。

Now 'another' is similar to 'other' but it's not exactly the same.

There's so much traffic. Is there another way to go?

这里太堵了。有其他的路可以走吗？所以我想知道是不是有其他的路可以到达我的目的地？

So I want to know is there an alternative way to get to my destination?

Is there a different route that I can take?

有没有不同的路线我可以走呢？同样的，使用‘another’意味着另外一个，但是你注意到了它们的使用方式了吗，每个单词的句式是有些许不同的。

So again, using 'another' means one more but did you notice that the way they're used, the structure of the sentences can be a little different for each word.

It's not always possible to simply swap one for the other, you know.

并不总是可以相互替换，大家懂的。你不能就单单把它俩给交换一下。

You can't just switch them. So in a moment, we're going to take a closer look at why that is.

等一下，我们要仔细看一下为什么会是这样。‘other’和‘another’都可以用作限定词。

Both 'other' and 'another' can be used as determinants. Now if you can't remember exactly what a determiner is, well that's okay.

It's a type of word that introduces a noun and it makes it clear what we're talking about.

如果你们不记得什么是限定词的话，没事。这是一种能够引出名词的单词，它会使我们所讨论的事物更加清晰。我们所有人，饼干，每个人，另外一份工作，另外一个朋友。

All of us, the cookie, each person, the other job, another friend. Now notice how 'other' is used here.

注意一下这里的‘other’是如何使用的。它是跟在‘the’后面或者是表示所有的单词后面的，比如说‘他的另外一份工作’，后面跟着的是单数或者复数名词。

We use it after 'the' or a possessive word like 'his other job' then followed by a singular or plural noun.

So can you think of some of your own examples like this?

你能想到类似于这样的例子吗？如果可以的话，把它们写在评论区吧。

Add them to the comments if you can. Her other house.

他的另外一个房子。另外一节课。

The other lesson. Most of the time 'other' is used with uncountable nouns and plural countable nouns.

大多数时候呢，‘other’都是和不可数名词和复数可数名词一起用的。你有其他的消息要告诉我吗？

Do you have any other information for me? So here 'other' is a determiner for information.

这里呢‘other’是‘information’的限定词。‘information’是不可数名词。

'Information' is an uncountable noun. Do you know any other good books by this author?

你知道这位作者写的其他的好书吗？‘other’是限定‘书’是的，这是一个复数可数名词。

So 'other' is determining 'books', a plural countable noun. Got it so far?

到目前为止理解了吗？那单数名词，比如说：他的另外一份工作呢？

But what about if the noun was singular like: his other job?

So 'other' can be used with singular countable nouns that it needs another determiner, usually an article or a pronoun.

所以说呢，‘other’可以和单数可数名词连用，它需要另一个限定词，一般都是冠词或者是代词。你不能说“我喜欢另一条狗”。

So you can't say "I don't like other dog". You need to say: "I don't like her other dog" or "the other dog".

你需要说：“我不喜欢她的另一条狗”，或者是“另一条狗”。我们还可以使用单数单词“an”。

We can use the single article 'an' as well. Another, an another dog.

另外一个，另外一只狗。当名词是单数而且可数的时候，你可以使用“another”作为限定词。

So when the noun is singular and countable, you can use 'another' as the determiner.

One of the sandwiches has cheese, the other sandwich doesn't.

其中一个三明治有芝士，另外一个三明治没有。注意这里的冠词‘the’，在‘other’之前。

Notice the article 'the' here, before 'other'.

This makes it possible to use 'other' with singular countable nouns and this happens in really specific situations.

这就可以将‘other’和单数可数名词连用，但是这只出现在特定的情形中。当你在谈论两件事物或者是两个人的第二个事物或者是第二个人的时候，你就可以使用‘the other’。

You can use 'the other' when you're talking about two things or people and you want to talk about the second thing or person.

The first sandwich has cheese, the second or the other doesn't.

第一个三明治有芝士，但是第二个或者是另一个没有。她一只手腕上戴着手链，另一只手腕上戴着手表。

She has a bracelet on one wrist and on the other she wears a watch.

So she has two wrists, the first has a bracelet and the second has a watch.

她有两个手腕，第一个是手链，第二个是戴着手表。我不能只是说：

I can't just say: "On the other wrist she wears a watch", right?

“她另一个手腕上戴着手表”，对吧？因为意思并不完整，我会让听众们疑问：那第一只手腕上戴着什么呢？

Because the idea is incomplete, I would really leave the listener asking a question like: what was on the first wrist then?

'Another' is also used as a determiner so it can be used with singular countable nouns.

‘另外一个’也是一个限定词，所以它可以和单数可数名词连用。你还有另外一个空房间吗？

Do you have another room available? So here 'another' is the determiner to the singular countable noun, 'room'.

这里呢‘another’是单数可数名词‘房间’的限定词。我不能将‘another’和复数形式连用，我不能将‘another’和‘rooms’放到一起。

I can't use 'another' with the plural form, I can't use 'another' with 'rooms'.

If I want to ask if there are extra rooms available, more than one room, I need to use 'other' instead, okay?

如果我想要问是不是还有空房间的话，不只是一个房间，我需要使用‘other’，对吧？你还有其他的空房间吗？

Do you have other rooms available? Or do you have another room available?

或者是你有另外一个空房间吗？但是这条规则是有例外的。

There is one exception to this rule though.

'Another' can be used with a determiner with plural nouns when a plural noun has a number or a number phrase in front of it like 'a few' or 'a couple'.

‘another’可以和限定词以及复数名词连用，当复数名词之前有数量或者是数量短语的时候，比如说‘一些’。我不能说‘我还需要几周的时间完成这个报告’，因为‘weeks’是复数，而且是可数的。

I can't say "I need another weeks to finish the report" because 'weeks' is plural and it's countable.

But I can say "I need another two weeks to finish the report" or "I need another couple of weeks to finish the report".

但是我可以说‘我需要另外两周完成这个报告’或者是‘我需要额外的几周来完成这个报告’。懂了吗？

Got it? Now the other way to use these words is to use them as pronouns.

So again, 'another' can only be used with singular countable nouns.

好的，另外一种使用这些词汇的方式是当做代词使用。同样的，‘again’只能和单数可数名词连用。我要点杯饮料。你想要一杯吗？

I'm going to order a drink. Would you like another?

So in this sentence 'another' is replacing the noun 'drink' but remember, I can only use 'another' here because we're talking about a singular drink not multiple drinks.

在这个句子中，‘another’代替的是名词‘饮料’，但是要记住哦，这里我只能使用‘another’，因为我们讨论的是单数的饮料，而不是复数的饮料。你猜怎么回事？这里没有任何例外。

And guess what? There aren't any exceptions here. 'Another' is just used as a singular pronoun.

‘Another’只能当成单数代词使用。你会看到‘other’也可以当做代词使用。

Now you'll see 'other' used as a pronoun too.

You can use it when you're talking about two things and the first thing has already been mentioned.

当你谈论两件事物，第一件事物已经被提到过的时候，你就可以使用。比如说，我的第一个愿望是去阿拉斯加。

So for example. My first wish is to go to Alaska. The other is to see the Northern Lights.

另外一个是去看极光。所以呢‘other’这里是当做名词使用，它作为一个代词代替‘wish’。

So 'other' is acting as a noun here, it's a pronoun replacing 'wish'. And it's okay to do this because it's clear what we're talking about, we already mentioned that the first wish was I want to go to Alaska so when we use the 'other', we're obviously referring to 'wish' but there is something that you need to keep in mind.

这样是可以的，因为很清楚我们在谈论什么，我们已经提到了第一个愿望是我想去阿拉斯加，所以当我们使用‘other’的时候，我们很明显指的是‘愿望’，但是这里有些注意点，你们要牢记于心。作为一个代词，‘other’可以是单数，也可以是复数。

As a pronoun, 'other' can be singular or plural.

Now remember when I was talking about 'other' as a determiner, I said it can't be plural.

记住哦，当我说‘other’作为限定词使用的时候，我说过它不能是复数的。但是你可以看到作为代词使用的时候，它是复数形式。

But you will see a plural form and that's when it's used as a pronoun.

So let's look at a couple of examples.

让我们看看几个例子吧。这个团队的一部分人已经到达了。

Part of the group has already arrived. The others will be here very soon.

另外的人很快就要到了。今天我们尝试了三道传统食物。

Today we tried three traditional foods. Tomorrow we'll try three others.

明天我们要尝试另外三种。你现在有没有感觉对这两个单词的掌握更加自信了？

So are you feeling a little more confident about these two words now?

Now is your chance to test yourself and to practise what you've just learned so get ready after this super short break, I've got a mini quiz for you.

现在到了你们的机会来测试一下自己啦，要练习你学到的知识，所以在稍事休息之后，我给大家准备了一个小测试。好的，让我们开始练习吧，看看你是不是能够选择正确的词汇完成每个句子，好吗？

Okay let's practise, see if you can choose the correct word to complete each sentence, okay? Choose 'other' or 'another'.

选择‘other’还是‘another’。我不喜欢那部电影，有另一部可以看吗？

I don't like that movie, is there '_ one that we can watch?

So we know that the word has to replace the noun 'movie', right?

我们知道这个单词需要替代名词‘电影’，是吧？意思是另外一个或者是不同的电影。

Meaning an additional or a different movie.

So we need to choose a pronoun for a singular countable noun, it must be 'another'.

所以我们需要选择一个能够代替单数可数名词的代词，那肯定是‘another’。这里有没肉的菜吗？

Are there any dishes without meat? So check out the noun here, it's plural, 'dishes'.

检查一下这里的名词，是复数的‘dishes’。我们不能将‘any’和‘another’连用，对吧？所以这里‘other’才是正确的答案。

And we can't say 'any' with 'another' right? So 'other' is the correct answer. Do you accept '_ type of payment besides cash?

你接受除了现金之外其他的支付方式吗？‘Another’是正确的，但是如果是‘types’，也就是复数呢？

'Another' is right but what if it was 'types'—plural? Then it would be 'other'.

那就应该是‘other’。我需要再买个手机充电器，我自己的给丢了~

I need to buy ' phone charger, I lost mine! So it's a singular countable noun.

这是个单数可数名词。那就必须是‘another’。

So it must be 'another'. I don't like oysters, but I love '_ kinds of seafood.

我不喜欢牡蛎，但是我喜欢其他的海鲜。我们这里是复数可数名词，所以我们需要使用‘other’。

We have a plural countable noun here so we need to use 'other'. Awesome! How did you go?

太棒了！你们做得怎么样？记住哦，决定使用‘other’还是‘another’取决于你们使用的名词，看它是单数的、复数的，还是不可数的。

Remember that your decision to use 'other' or 'another' really depends on the noun that you're using, whether it's singular, plural or uncountable.
