零基礎學英語：any和some應該怎么用

'Any' and 'some' are used in positive and negative statements as well as in questions. Generally speaking, 'any' is used in questions and for negative statements while 'some' is used in positive statements.

any和some用于肯定句、否定句及疑問句中。一般來說，any用于疑問句和否定句中，而some則用于肯定句中。

Is there any milk in the fridge?

冰箱里有牛奶嗎?

There aren't any people in the park today.

今天公園里一個人都沒有。

I have some friends in Chicago.

我在芝加哥有一些朋友。

There are exceptions, however, to this rule. Here's an explanation of how to use 'any' and 'some' correctly.

但是這條規(guī)則也存在例外。下面是對any和some的正確用法的說明。

Read the conversation below:

閱讀下面的對話：

Barbara: Is there any milk left?

牛奶還有剩的嗎?

Katherine: Yes, there is some in the bottle on the table.

是的，桌上的瓶子里還有一些。

Barbara: Would you like some milk?

你想喝點牛奶嗎?

Katherine: No, thank you. I don't think I'll drink any tonight. Could I have some water, please?

不用了，謝謝。今晚我不想喝牛奶。請問我能喝點水嗎?

Barbara: Sure. There is some in the fridge.

當然，冰箱里還有一些。

In this example, Barbara asks 'Is there any milk left?' using 'any' because she doesn't know if there is milk or not. Katherine responds with 'some milk' because there is milk in the house. In other words, 'some' indicates that there is milk. The questions 'would you like some' and 'could I have some' refers to something that exists that is offered or requested.

在這個例子中，芭芭拉問道Is there any milk left?(牛奶還有剩的嗎?)，這句話中使用了any，因為她并不知道到底有沒有牛奶。凱瑟琳回答some milk(有一些牛奶)，因為家里有牛奶。也就是說，some表明牛奶是有的。疑問句would you like some和could I have some表示需要提供或要求的某物時存在的。

Barbara: Do you know anybody who comes from China?

你認識的人中有來自中國的嗎?

Katherine: Yes, I think there is someone who is Chinese in my English class.

是的，我的英語課上就有個從中國來的人。

Barbara: Great, could you ask him some questions for me?

棒極了，你能幫我問他幾個問題嗎?

Katherine: No problem. Is there anything special you want me to ask?

沒問題。你有什么特別的問題嗎?

Barbara: No, I don't have anything in particular in mind. Maybe you could ask him some questions about life in China. Is that OK?

不，沒什么特別的問題。你可以問問他關(guān)于在中國的生活，行嗎?

Katherine: Sure.

當然可以。

The same rules apply in this conversation, but are used for words made using 'some' or 'any'. The question 'Do you know anybody' is used because Barbara doesn't know if Katherine knows a person from China. Katherine then uses 'someone' to refer to a person she knows. The negative form of 'anything' is used in the sentence 'I don't have anything' because it is in the negative.

同樣的規(guī)則也被應用在這個對話中，但都用上了含有some或any的詞語。因為芭芭拉不知道凱瑟琳是否認識來自中國的人，所以使用了問句Do you know anybody?凱瑟琳使用someone來指代她認識的某個人。句子I don't have anything中使用了anything的否定形式，因為該句為否定句。
