All is often used to mean the same as whole but when used in front of plurals, all and whole have different meanings. For example, if you say 'All the buildings have been destroyed', you mean that every building has been destroyed. If you say 'Whole buildings have been destroyed', you mean that some buildings have been destroyed completely. Note that when all is used to consider a group, this means that the group has more than two members. To refer to two people or things, you use both. Tony and Nigel both laughed. You use every to refer to all the members of a group that has more than two members. He listened to every news bulletin. ...an equal chance for every child. You use each to refer to every person or thing in a group when you are thinking about them as individuals. Note that each can be used to refer to both members of a pair. Each apartment has two bedrooms... We each carried a suitcase. Note that each and every are only used with singular nouns.
all的含义通常与whole相同,但用于复数名词前时,两者意义不同。例如,All the buildings have been destroyed 意为所有大楼都被毁了。若说Whole buildings have been destroyed 则意为一些大楼被整栋摧毁了。注意当all用来指一个团体时,该团体有两个以上的成员。若指两者,用both,例如:Tony and Nigel both laughed(托尼和奈杰尔都笑了)。every用于指包括两个以上成员的团体的所有成员:He listened to every news bulletin(每次新闻简报他都听),an equal chance for every child(所有孩子都享有的平等机会)。each用于指被视作个体的每位团体成员。注意each也可指两者中的任一个:Each apartment has two bedrooms (每套公寓都有两间卧室),We each carried a suitcase(我俩每人拎一个箱子)。注意each和every只和单数名词连用。

Note that you do not use after all if you want to talk about what happens at the end of a long period, instead you use at last, finally, in the end, lastly, or last of all. You use at last or finally when you have been waiting for or expecting something for a long time. At last usually comes at the end of a sentence. The storm that had threatened came at last. Finally usually comes at the beginning of a sentence or before a verb. After another search they finally located the house. You also use finally to talk about something that is the last in a series of things. He lived in Turkey, France, Norway, and finally Mexico. You use in the end when talking about something that happens after a long time or a long process. Perhaps the police got him in the end... In the end, Peter seemed quite happy. You use lastly to talk about the last of a series of people or things. I went through the bathroom, the bedroom, and lastly the sitting room. You use last of all to emphasize that there is nobody or nothing else after the person or thing you mention. Last of all came the cat.
请注意,谈论很长一段时间之后最终发生的事时,不用after all而用at last, finally, in the end, lastly或last of all。表示经历了长久的等待或期待时用at last或finally。at last通常用于句末,例如,The storm that had threatened came at last(酝酿已久的暴风雨最终来临了)。finally通常用于句首或动词前:After another search they finally located the house(再次搜寻之后,他们终于找到了那幢房子)。finally也用于表示一系列事物的最后一件:He lived in Turkey, France, Norway, and finally Mexico (他曾在土耳其、法国、挪威生活过,最后来到了墨西哥)。in the end表示经历了较长的时间或过程之后事情才发生:Perhaps the police got him in the end(可能警方最终将他抓获了);In the end, Peter seemed quite happy(最后,彼得似乎挺高兴的)。lastly用于谈论一连串人或事物的最后一个或一件:I went through the bathroom, the bedroom, and lastly the sitting room(我把浴室、卧室,最后还有起居室都找了个遍)。last of all用于强调所提及人或事物之后再无其他了:Last of all came the cat(最后出场的是猫)。
