1. 全部;整体
If you refer to the whole of something, you mean all of it.

2. (包含几个不同部分的)整体
A whole is a single thing which contains several different parts.

3. 完好的;完整的
If something is whole, it is in one piece and is not broken or damaged.

4. (表示强调)完全地
You use whole to emphasize what you are saying.

Whole is often used to mean the same as all but when used in front of plurals, whole and all have different meanings. For example, if you say 'Whole buildings have been destroyed', you mean that some buildings have been destroyed completely. If you say 'All the buildings have been destroyed', you mean that every building has been destroyed.
whole 和 all 通常意义相同，但当用在名词复数前时意义不同。例如，Whole buildings have been destroyed 意思是一些大楼被整栋摧毁了。而 All the buildings have been destroyed 意思是所有建筑物都被摧毁了。
