other和another到底有何差别？
一、一词多义不同
1、another
作形容词意思有另一的；再一个的。作代词意思有另一个；类似的一个；别的。
2、other
作形容词意思有其他的；另外的；另一个；另一边。作代词意思是其他(人或物)。作名词意思是其他人(或事)。作副词意思是以其他方式。
二、用法不同
1、another
adj. (形容词)
1）another用作形容词的基本意思是“(又)另一个的”，主要指同类中又多一(个)的或与前述不同的另一个的，在句中只用作定语。another后常接单数可数名词，但当复数名词前有基数词或few时，也可用another修饰。
2）another这个形容词是由an和other两词合缀而成，因此它不能加冠词或其他限定性的形容词。
2、other
adj. (形容词)
1）other用作形容词作“别的，其他的，另外的”解时，常用来修饰复数名词或不可数名词；如前面有this, that, some, any, each, every, no, none, one等词时，也可用来修饰单数名词。
2）other用在the或形容词性物主代词之后时，与单数名词连用表示“(两个中的)另一个”; 与复数名词连用表示某一集体中“其余的，剩下的(人或物)”。
三、具体指意不同
1、another指特定的某人或某物之外的“任何一个”，用于三者以上。
2、the other用于两者之间，指特定的某人或某物之外的“另一个”“剩下的”。
