D解析the others指明是哪些，意思是：“其余的那些”．others未指明是哪些，意思是：“别的”．例如：Others may do so, but I won't．别人也许会这么做，但是我不会．Can you tell the others that I'll be a little late？请你告诉其他人我会迟一会儿到好不好？other后接单数名词时，前面必须有the, any, some, no等或形容词性物主代词．other后接复数名词时，前面没有the表示不指明的复数，前面有the表示指明的复数．例如：She is taller than any other girl in her class．她比班上任何一个女孩个子都高．John isn't here．He is in some other room．约翰不在这里，他在别的房间里．Put it in your other hand．把它放在你的另一只手里．another意思是：不同的一个，另一个．I don't like it, give me another one．我不喜欢它，给我另外一个吧．
