alone只表“独自”的客观状态,没有感情色彩,只作表语;

这组词都有“唯一的”的意思,其区别是:
unique非正式用词,侧重在一类中唯一无可匹敌、无与伦比的特征。
single语气较强,强调仅此一个,再无第二个。
only普通用词,常可与sole换用,但侧重仅限于指定的人或物,而不需要更多。
alone着重专指某人或某物,而不是别的。
sole语气强于only,指仅有一个或一群,只考虑这一个或这一群。

“单一的,关于数量、类别或种类”,中古英语 onli,来自古英语 ænlic, anlic “仅有的,独特的,孤独的”,字面意思是“像一个”,由 an “一个”(见 one)和 -lic “-像”(见 -ly(1))组成。古弗里西亚语 einlik,荷兰语 eenlijk,古高地德语 einlih,丹麦语 einlig 也采用了类似的构词方式。它保留了 one 的旧发音。相关词汇: Onliness。
它作为副词(“独自,没有其他人或其他事物; 只有一种方式; 只有一个目的”)和连词(“但是,除了”)在中古英语中发展起来。区分 only 和 alone(现在通常指情感状态)是不寻常的; 在许多语言中,同一个词用于两者。德语也有 allein/einzig 的区别。短语 only-begotten(15世纪中期)是圣经用语,翻译拉丁语 unigenitus,希腊语 monogenes; 古英语单词是 ancenned。 Only child 的用法可追溯到1700年。
