1. anything but常與be搭配使用,表示“根本不是,一點也不”,與not at all意義相近。
例如:
He was anything but a hero.他根本不是什麼英雄。
=He is not a hero at all.
2. “除了……之外什麼都是(行,可以)”。
例如:I enjoy drinking anything but milk. 除了牛奶我什麼都喜歡喝。
【區別】nothing but 後面可接名詞和代詞,譯為“僅僅;只不過”。
例如:She eats nothing but apples. 她僅以蘋果為食。
He is nothing but a child. 他只不過是個孩子。
Judy played nothing but video games. Judy 只玩電動遊戲。
nothing but 只有 只是
= only
= just
= no more than
= nothing more than
Nothing but 後面可接三種型態的動詞,Nothing 前面的動詞與but後面的動詞要對等,因此but後面的動詞VR,V-ing或To VR 是由nothing 前面的動詞形態決定
例如:
Do nothing but VR
Judy did nothing but cry. Judy 什麼也沒做就只會哭。
Enjoy nothing but V-ing
We enjoy nothung but singing. 我們只喜歡唱歌。
Think of nothing but V-ing
