【問】《大學英語·精讀》第二冊(上海外語教育出版社，p58)有這樣一道練習題(用括號中所給詞的適當形式填空)：
His __________ (surprise) recovery delighted everyone of us.
【答】everyone of us的用法是錯誤的。F. T. Wood指出：“Even for people two words must be used when the sense is ‘every single one’.”LDCE則進一步指出Everyone (or everybody) can only be used of people and is never followed by ‘of’。由此看出，從語義上說，當指“每一單個的人”時，必須用every one；從慣用法說，everyone之后絕不可以跟’of’，而必須用every one of的結構。
筆者認為以上說法太絕對了，無論在過去還是現在的在英語中everyone之后跟of短語的例句還是客觀存在的，例如在The Random House Dictionary of the English language(Oxford University Press, 1973/1987)和R. A. Close 著的A reference grammar for students of English ( Eighth impression 1985 Printed in Hong Kong) 就分別含有everyone之后跟of短語的例句：
Everyone of his family will go. (RHD)
Only everyone, not everybody, will occur in everyone of them (us, you). (Close)
其次，美國英語中，在1920s—1970s期間，也不乏everyone之后跟of短語的例句，例如：
“TIME corpus of American English” (1923-2007) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University ) (http://corpus.byu.edu/time) 就給出了以下例句：
1952-11-07…he said, “the consequences of this misplaced trust come home to everyone of us in the war in Korea.”…
1956-08-14 … Trees are budding and flowers are in bloom; let everyone of us dress up, and compete with the beautiful spring…
1926-02-24... I haven’t any doubt but that everyone of you jurymen is prejudiced.
1948-08-12 We don’t follow that custom any more, but I hope that everyone of you, some time today, will read that document
1929-04-22… “of a dozen or more the Senator” saw, “but everyone of them could no doubt hit the ground with his hat…
1931-10-05.... There were ten reporters on the story and everyone of them helped me.
1976-03-08 The difference between them and me is that everyone of them thinks he knows more than I.
