VOA一分鐘英語：辨析易混說法 all together 和 altogether

“All together” 是兩個(gè)詞，而 “altogether” 卻是一個(gè)詞 —— 它們的意思和用法相同嗎？表示 “所有人或事物一起、一同” 的時(shí)候應(yīng)該用哪一個(gè)？表示 “全然，完全” 的時(shí)候又該用哪個(gè)？
 
Hi, I'm Phil, and I'm going to tell you the difference between all together and altogether. Yes, they sound the same – but they're not.
All together – that’s two words and two 'l's – means everything or everyone being or doing something together with everything or everyone else.
Let's sing all together.
Or: Put the vegetables in the bowl and mix them all together.
Altogether – that's one word and one 'l' – is an adverb. And it means 'completely' or 'entirely'.
My brother has an altogether different personality to me – he's nothing like me!
So if you have altogether as one complete word, it means 'completely' or 'entirely'.
And if we have all together as two words together, then that means everything or everyone together.
