anything 也可指人
请看下面一道题:
Is he a man with good manners? No, he is _________ but polite.
A. anythingB. anyone C. anybody D. anywhere
【分析】 此题容易误选B或C,因为句子主语指人,只有B、C才与之一致。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:
That old bridge is anything but safe. 那座桥一点也不安全。
My income is anything but large. 我的收入绝对不算多。
The fight is anything but finished. 战斗绝没有结束。
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。
