同近义词辨析
among, amongst, amid, between这组词都有“在……之间，在……之中”的意思，其区别是：
among指三者或三者以上的同类事物之间。
amongst与among同义，是among的变体。一般说来among总能替代amongst,而amongst则不然。
amid正式用词，侧重指在某个地方的中间或被某个东西包围着或在非同类人中间。
between多指两者之间，但现代英语中也可指三者或三者以上，表示彼此间清楚的独立的个体关系。

amid (prep.)
late 14c., from amidde (c. 1200), from Old English on middan "in the middle," from dative singular of midde "mid, middle" (see middle); the phrase evidently was felt as "in (the) middle" and thus followed by a genitive case, and if this had endured we would follow it today with of. (See amidst for further evolution along this line). The same applies to equivalents in Latin (in medio) and Greek (en meso), both originally adjective phrases which evolved to take the genitive case. But in later Old English on middan also was treated as a preposition and followed by dative. Used in compounds from early 13c. (such as amidships, attested from 1690s and retaining the genitive, as the compounds usually did in early Middle English, suggesting this one is considerably older than the written record of it.)
