→ 强调"无一遗漏的完整性"
(常带庄严/文学色彩)
✓ The Entire city was evacuated.

→ 侧重"作为整体"的概念
(口语/书面皆可)
✓ The whole city celebrated the victory.(全城庆祝,视城市为单元)
3. all the city(较少用)
→ 需加冠词,多指"所有市民"而非地理范围
✓ All the city gathered in the square.(市民聚集,侧重人群)

- entire:直接+名词(无需冠词)
entire city
- whole:直接+名词(可加the)

1. 灾难报告(强调全面性)

母语者使用偏好- 书面语:entire > whole > all

1. 要强调彻底性 → 选 entire

(地毯式搜查)
2. 说整体情况 → 选whole
