高一英语语法惯用法:anything可用于人吗
anything可用于人吗? 请看题:
Its said that he is a wise leader. Oh, no, he is _____ but a wise leader.
A. anything B. anyone
C. anybody D. anywhere
【陷阱】容易误选B、C。因为句子主语指人,似乎只有B、C才与之一致。
【分析】其实,正确答案应选A。因为 anything but 是习语,意为根本不是或一点也不,不仅可用于事物,也可用于人。如:
Ill do anything but that. 我绝不会干那种事。
The party was anything but a success. 晚会根本不成功。
Her father was anything but a poet. 她父亲根本不是诗人。
Such a man was anything but a hero. 那样的人绝不算英雄。
