either of两者之一
either or二者择一的;要么…要么…
这组词都有“也”的意思,其区别是:
either用于否定句,放在句末,之前加逗号。
likewise是书面语用词。
as well一般不用否定句,通常放在句末,强调时可放在句中。
also比too正式一些,语气较重,只用于肯定句,一般紧靠动词。
too语气较轻,多用于口语,在肯定句中使用,通常位于句末。

古英语 ægðer,缩写自 æghwæðer(代词,副词,连词)“两者之一,两者都”,源自 a “总是”(见 aye(adv.))+ ge- 集体前缀+ hwæðer “两者之一,无论哪个”(见 whether)。同源于古弗里西亚语 eider,荷兰语 ieder,古高地德语 eogiwedar,德语 jeder “任何一个,每个,每个人”)。
现代意义上的“两者之一”是13世纪后期的。副词用于强调,“无论如何,在任何情况下”,特别是在表达否定时,始于1828年。使用 either-or 暗示在两种选择之间不可避免地做出选择(1931年)在某些情况下反映了丹麦语 enten-eller,这是基尔克戈尔德1843年的一本书的标题。
