请教一个题目 718

The complex tax dispute between the covered bridge mall and harris towmship 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.(C)

想知道b为什么不行啊?还有做这类型题目的时候什么时候both each ----the other  each other怎么用,

先谢过了!!

我覺得是邏輯問題。

中文說:兩個人打架,雙方都想置對方於死地。

英文說:兩個人打架,A想置B於死地,B想置A於死地。

所以在英文邏輯上來說,both are intent on creating是不合理的,因為沒有對象啊!

each other: 表"兩個人互相" (雖然Longman說"2個或以上", 可是我記得OG好像有明示不可以, 而且另一本usage書有說只可以用在2個entities上)
one another: 表"兩個人以上互相", 所以D錯
the other: 有"除了之前明/暗示的那位"的意思, 所以A錯
E很awkward and wordy.
B和C, 有一個tutor說:
"First, each group wants to create difficulties only for the other one. Each group does not want to create difficulties both for the other one and for itself. That's the difference in meaning between B and C - B says that they are creating difficulties for themselves as well as for the other group, while C says only that each group wants to create difficulties for the other group.
Second, it's better to start with "each side" than with "both sides" b/c the idea is that one side wants to create a difficulty for the other side - singular and singular. "

我不太讚同她說的第一點, but second.
