Question

both sides 等于什么 是either side 还是each side

Answer 1

1.both sides 在两边(都)
either/each side 在(两边中的)任意一边
2.从隐含的含义上讲三者是一样的
如There are many shops on both sides of the street.
=There are many shops on each side of the street.
=There are many shops on either side of the street.
3.但是这三者不会完全相等.
both sides 强调的是两边,为复数概念
each/either side 强调的是(两边中的)任意一边,为单数概念
如:Both sides of the street are covered with rubbish.
而Each/Either side of the street is covered with rubbish.
