但是說話人真的急了，比如喊救命的時候：「Help! Help! Somebody! Anybody!" 救命啊，來人哪！（不管是誰，來救命就行）。這時候不會說 some people! any people!
當然，如果老師在課堂上問一個問題，卻沒有人舉手，老師可能也會說 "Anybody would like to give it a try?" 這時候不見得說老師真的是「急眼」了。
作為一種警告等，強調「絕無例外」，「定斬不饒」時，單、複數都可以用。作者: nick_martin 時間: 2007-7-20 10:32 標題: 幫我翻譯一下 For instance, one can say "we are discussing whether any *noun* after 'any' should be plural or singular" rather than "we are discussing whether any nouns after 'any' should be plural or singular". Note though that the general usage involves the plural, and using the singular with count nouns with "any" emphasizes that those being referred to are being spoken of as individual entities rather than in a general overarching fashion.
Conversely, one can also say "you can get any of the breads in the store", rather than being limited to "you can get any of the bread in the store". Mind you that the two are not synonymous, as using the plural of a mass noun in such a fashion, outside of idiomatic usages, commonly refers to *types* of that which is being referred to, whereas the singular refers to some whole that is made up of that which is being referred to in general.作者: 伊笑大方 時間: 2007-7-20 11:33
樓上的能看懂就可以了,為什麼還要別人翻譯出來呢?
