If you say 'All the buildings have been destroyed', you mean that every building has been destroyed. whole 和 all 通常意义相同,但当用在名词复数前时意义不同。例如,Whole buildings have been destroyed 意思是一些大楼被整栋摧毁了。而 All the buildings have been destroyed 意思是所有建筑物都被摧毁了。 5 [PHRASE 短语]整体而言;总体上 If you refer to something as a whole, you are referring to it generally and as a single unit.
