说明
肯定句中的 anything
核心问题
Although Lucie married Charles, Sydney promised her that he would always do anything he
could for her to make sure of her happiness.
《英语一千常用单词》(外研社, p.66)说: “同 something 不一样, anything 只能用于否定结构或含否定概念的结构(注: 也限用于疑问和条件结构)。”但是, 上引例句中的 anything 却用于肯定结构, 这是怎么回事呢?
词典解答
anything 既可用于否定句、疑问句和条件从句，也可用于肯定句。但它在不同的句型里，具有不同的语义（见 anything ）。
