Usage Note :

If there are only two people or things you should use between. If there are more than two people or things, you should use among or amongst. Amongst is a bit old-fashioned. You can also talk about relationships between or among people or things, and discussions between or among people. ...an argument between his mother and another woman. ...an opportunity to discuss these issues amongst themselves. Note that if you are between things or people, the things or people are on either side of you. If you are among or amongst things or people, they are all around you. ...the bag standing on the floor between us. ...the sound of a pigeon among the trees.

如果只有两个人或两个事物,应该使用 between。如果人或者事物超过了两个,则应使用 among 或者 amongst。amongst 稍微有些过时。between和 among 都可以用来表示人或事物之间的关系、人与人之间的讨论等:an argument between his mother and another woman(他妈妈和另一个女人之间的争执),an opportunity to discuss these issues amongst themselves(他们内部讨论这些问题的一个机会)。注意,between 表示在两者之间,而 among 则表示在多者中间,被人或事物包围:...the bag standing on the floor between us(包放在我们两人之间的地上),the sound of a pigeon among the trees(树林里鸽子的叫声)。
