题目

something 和anything 的用法有什么区别?
我记得是something用于肯定句,anything用于否定句.可是高一英文必修二上却有这样的表达:What is a fact? It is something that people? No! It is anything that can be proved.

答案

anything也有任何事的意思.anything不光出现在疑问句和反问句中,有时也可以在肯定句和一般形式的句子中出现,在语句中的意思就可以直接翻译为"任何事" It is anything that can be proved 这句的意思就是 "这是任何事都能证实的"
