There is a lake ( ) these countries.( )中填between 还是among Why?

问题描述:

There is a lake ( ) these countries.( )中填between 还是among Why?

这里强调的是在边界之间,应该用between,即使是超过2个国家.among不能表示这种意思,尤其在表示地理位置时.
同样的用法还有:
The relationship between the East Asian countries is very complicated.
这里用between是强调双边的关系.
另外,作为一个选择题,答案应该是唯一的.既然句中并没有说明是2个还是超过2个,那就不能排除2个国家的可能,也就没有充分理由排除用between.
