one on one與one by one

這星期剛好有日本主管來訪,提到要1對1 meeting,
信中有提到one on one,此時有點疑惑,不是應該寫one by one嗎??

於是,我查了字典且上網查資料

One by one:一個接著一個,逐一地
  • He shot arrows one by one, but each missed.  (他射了一箭又一箭,但都未射中。)
  • All the applicants were interviewed one by one.  (所有的申請者一個接著一個參加面試。)
  • For some years after his retirement he kept up with a number of his old workmates, but as time went by he dropped them one by one.  (退休後的幾年裏,他還同很多老同事保持著聯系,但隨著時間的推移,他們的聯系就一個一個地中斷了。)

One on one:一對一

  • one to one, one for one
  • Some students prefer to be tutored one on one. (有的學生喜歡老師單獨輔導)
