发帖数: 734 | 2 "Between" also implies the people are acting separately or dealing with
each other, and "among" implies that the people are acting together, and
the usage isn't always dependent on the number of people.
It seems to me that after "between" we should be able to say "A and B (and
C (and D, etc))", but the object following "among" should be a collective
that isn't separable.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain has
gained huge support among white women since naming Sarah Palin as his
running mate and now leads Democrat Barack Obama among those voters,
according to a survey published on Tuesday.
The Washington Post/ABC News poll found that much of McCain's surge in the
