All the time & every time 区别是什么?

和很多国家相比,英国 “总是” 下雨!要表达英国下雨频率很高,应该用搭配 “all the time” 还是 “every time”?

用法总结

1. All the time

We use all the time to talk about something that always or usually happens.
用 “all the time” 来谈论一直、总在发生的事情。

  • In the UK, it rains all the time.
  • She's late all the time. We have to talk to her manager.
  • What's their secret? They're happy all the time!

2. Every time

We use 'every time' when we are talking about each individual time something happens. We do not know how frequently this is, only that it happens each individual time.
用 “every time” 来描述某件事情每一次、单独发生的时间。我们并不知道事情发生的频率,只知道 “每次” 发生时都有这样的情况。

  • Every time I go to the beach, it rains.
  • He's very reliable. He's there every time I need his help.
  • It's like magic! She guesses the correct card every time!
