One way to picture 'every': you go down a whole group and touch each member, one at a time, leaving none out — all of them, but seen . From that one move come its other uses: marking a regular gap in time or space (every five minutes, every ten metres), counting in steady steps (every other one), giving as much of something as there possibly is (every chance), and a handful of fixed phrases.

可以想成: every 的核心畫面是你沿著一整群,一個一個點過去,每一個都碰到、一個都不漏——全部都算,但是是一個一個地看。從這個動作衍生出其他用法:標出時間或空間上固定的間隔(每五分鐘、每十公尺)、用穩定的步伐去數(每隔一個)、把某樣東西給到最滿(用盡一切機會),還有幾個固定片語。
