Hello Edgar, that is an excellent question.

你好，埃德加，这个问题棒极了。

本周，我要在这个问题和其他很多问题之间做出选择。最后，我选择了这个。

Did you see how I used "between"?

你看出来了吗，我是怎么使用between的?

I see that you also used the word correctly when you asked about the "difference between" the words. Good job!

我看到当你询问单词之间的区别时，你用词也很准确。很棒!

"Between" and "among" are two prepositions that generally mean "in the middle of two or more things." But how do we know which to use?

between和among都是介词，通常指的是“在两个或两个以上事物之间”。但是，我们如何辨别到底该用哪个呢?

Many English learners are taught that we use "between" for two things and "among" for three or more.

很多英语学习者都被这样教导过：between用于表示两个事物，among用于表示三个或三个以上事物。

It is true that we usually use "between" to talk about things that are clearly separate, as you and I both did. However, the use of "between" is not limited by the number of things.

没错，我们常用between来谈论明显分开的事物，正如你我说的那样。然而，between并不受事物数量的限制。

We use "among" to talk about things within a group. They are not clearly separate. "Among" means "in or through a group of people or things."

我们用among来谈论一个群体之内的事物。这些事物并不是明显分开的。among的意思是“在一群人或一组事物之中”。
