标题: sec 16-14

14. The complex tax dispute between the Covered Bridge Mall and Harris Township is not likely to be adjudicated for several years, and, in the meantime, both sides are intent on creating difficulties for the other.
(A) both sides are intent on creating difficulties for the other
(B) both sides are intent on creating difficulties for each other
(C) each side is intent on creating difficulties for the other
(D) each side is intent on creating difficulties for one another
(E) the sides are both intent on creating difficulties for each other

答案是c，因其最清晰。请教，选项b的含糊之处在哪里呢？tianwan大牛认为for each other有为自己也制造麻烦之嫌疑，但例如they kissed each other 怎么能理解为自己也亲吻了自己呢？是否在于each other 本身不宜作为for的宾语表示相互的意思呢？

both sides are intent on creating difficulties for each other 我觉得是前后搭配的问题，前面是both sides，后面应该用复数的搭配。for和each other可以搭配表相互。

for example:

Both sides are willing to make allowances for each other's political sensitiveties...

我上面举了例子，they kissed each other。所以，这个解释好像不是不是问题的所在哦。

个人认为BC的表达都对，但是在考场上我还是会选C，好像ETS更为倾向于each这种单数表达。

我认为tianwan的解释是对的

记得OG中的一题

two stars orbit each other 两颗星星互相围绕

both sides are intent on creating difficulties for each other双方目的在于为对方互相制造困难意思表达不对

each side is intent on creating difficulties for the other任何一方的目的在于为另一方制造困难意思合理

kiss each other 那是互相kiss 没有问题的

现在看来，这两种表达语法上都没有问题；

我觉得逻辑意思上，这里强调个体比说整体更合适一点。

还是没有定论？？
