1.dated Everyone in a particular group. The phrase is not only used to apply to men.

过时的说法 指特定群体中的每一个人。此短语不仅适用于男性。

2.Everyone without exception. The first term has been traced to Dickens’s Barnaby Rudge (1841) and has remained largely British. The second is considerably older,appearing in the Middle English legend of Kyng Alisaunder (ca. 1300)—“Mekely ilka modir sound”—as well as in Sir Thomas Malory’s Morte d’Arthur (1485) and Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1596)—“That would hang us,every mother’s son.” It was surely a cliché by the time Gilbert and Sullivan had the Dragoons sing,“The soldiers of our Queen are linked in friendly tether,Upon the battle scene they fight the foe together,There every mother’s son prepared to fight and fall is; the enemy of one the enemy of all is” (Patience,1881). Also see every Tom,Dick,and Harry.

无一例外地每个人。第一个短语可追溯至狄更斯的《巴纳比·拉奇》（1841年），主要在英国使用。第二个短语年代更为久远，出现在中古英语传奇《亚历山大王》（约1300年）——"每位母亲之子皆谦卑和鸣"——以及托马斯·马洛礼爵士的《亚瑟王之死》（1485年）和莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》（1596年）——"那会吊死我们，每一位母亲之子"。到吉尔伯特与沙利文让龙骑兵唱出"我们女王麾下的士兵以友谊相连，在战场上共同杀敌，每位母亲之子都准备战斗与牺牲；一人的敌人便是所有人的敌人"（《耐心》，1881年）时，这无疑已成为陈词滥调。另见"every Tom, Dick, and Harry"。
