What's the best movie theater?和Which is the best movie theater?都可以说。一般说来,侧重选择范围用which,不侧重选择范围用what。《葛传槼英语惯用法词典》有如下说明:
比较下面每组里的两句:
Which is he reading?([这几本书、几篇文、几个故事、等中间]他正在读哪一本[或篇、个、等])
What is he reading?(他正在读什么?)
Which book is he reading?([这几本书中间]他正在读哪一本?)
What book is he reading?(他正在读什么书?)
Which is your teacher of Russian?([这几个人中间]哪一个是你的俄语老师?)
Who is your teacher of Russian?(谁是你的俄语老师?)
但下面两句意思相同:
Which will you have, tea or coffee?
What will you have, tea or coffee?
▲最后两句的第一句侧重选择范围,第二句不侧重选择范围。
