Do not confuse another and other. When you are talking about another thing or person, you often mean one more of the same type. Rick's got another camera... I waited another few minutes. You use other to refer to more than one type of person or thing, usually followed by a plural count noun but sometimes by an uncount noun. Other boys were arriving now... There was certainly other evidence. When you are talking about two people or things and have already referred to one of them, you refer to the second one as the other or the other one. One daughter was a baby, the other a girl of twelve. When you are talking about several people or things and have already referred to one or more of them, you usually refer to the remaining ones as the others. Jack and the others paid no attention. More people or things of the same type are referred to simply as others. Some writers are better than others.Other can also be used after words such as 'the', 'few', or 'any', and after numbers. ...the other side of the room... I love my son, like any other mother. ...the Hogans and three other couples.

不要混淆another和other。another指另一个同一类型的人或事物：Rick's got another camera（里克又添置了一架相机），I waited another few minutes（我又等了几分钟）。other指不同类的人或事物，通常后接可数名词复数形式，但有时也接不可数名词：Other boys were arriving now（其他男孩马上也要到了），There was certainly other evidence（当然还有其他证据）。在谈及两个人或事物，并且已经说到其中一个，在说第二个时用the other或the other one：One daughter was a baby, the other a girl of twelve（一个女儿尚在襁褓中，另一个女儿12岁了）。当说到几个人或事物，并且已经提到了其中一个或几个时，指剩下的通常用the others: Jack and the others paid no attention (杰克和其他人都没留意）。指更多的同类人或事物时用others：Some writers are better than othes (有些作家比其同行要出色)。other也可用在the, few, any和数字后面：the other side of the room (房间另一头)，I love my son, like any other mother (像其他任何一位母亲一样，我爱我的儿子），the Hogans and three other couples (霍根夫妇和其他3对夫妇)。
