somewhere 和anywhere的区别

somewhere 和anywhere的区别

一般情况下，somebody, something, somewhere用于肯定句，而anybody, anything, anywhere用于否定句、疑问句及条件句中。如：

(1)I can see something on the wall. Is it a new painting?

(2) Somebody is knocking at the door. Go and have a look.

(3) Yesterday Han Mei found her pen somewhere. Now she still doesn’t know who put it there.

(4) Can you hear anything in the next room? Somebody is crying.

（5) –Is there anybody running on the playground?

–Yes, it’s Wang Tong.

(6) I can't see anybody in the teacher's office. But I must ask the teacher an important question.

(7) They didn't go anywhere, because it was raining heavily. They played ping-pong in the classroom.

但也有例外情况。当表达请求、建议、反对等肯定意图时，something, somebody等词也可用于疑问句形式。如：

(8) – Is somebody coming this evening?

–Yes, But I don’t know who’s coming.

(9) Would you please give me something to eat? Certainly. Help yourself to anything in the ice box.

somewhere常用作副词，意为“到某处，在某处”；anywhere“在任何地方，到任何地方”。 （1）somewhere用于肯定句，而在否定句、疑问句、if（whether）从句中，则用anywhere。例如： the church must be somewhere around here. 那座教堂一定就在附近。 i want to live somewhere else. 我想住到别的地方。 i remember seeing him somewhere. 我记得在哪儿见过他。 have you seen my watch anywhere? 你在什么地方见到过我的手表吗？ i don’t want to go anywhere else. 我哪儿也不想去了。 （2）somewhere有时与修饰语或短语连用，或成为宾语而当名词用。这时候，其修饰语或短语要置于somewhere之后。例如： they need somewhere to stay. 他们需要找个地方呆一会。 let’s find somewhere quiet to have a rest. 我们找某个安静的地方休息一会吧。 （3）即使形式为疑问句，但说话者心中的肯定意识较强时，或实际上表示请求劝诱时，有时不用anywhere而用somewhere。例如： shall we go somewhere else? 我们去别的地方好吗？
