I agree with most of what you said, but I don't agree with ________.
A. everything B. anything C. something D. nothing
答案为 A,不是该用 anything 吗?否定句中为什么用 everything 而不用 anything 呢?谢谢!
沅老师:
此题容易误选 B,生搬硬套不定代词用法规则:something 用于肯定句,anything 用于否定句或疑问句。其实此题应选 A,这主要是由句子语境决定的——注意前文的 I agree with most of what you said(我同意你说的大部分内容),其后的 not 与 everything 构成部分否定,意为“不是所有的都同意”,前后两部分用转折连词 but 连接,语气通顺、连贯。请看一个类似的例子:
_____ likes money, but money is not ______.
A. Everyone, everything B. Anyone, anything
C. Someone, nothing D. Nobody, everything
答案选A,句意为“人人都喜欢钱,但钱不是万能”。
