anything可用于人嗎? 請看題：

　　Its said that he is a wise leader. Oh, no, he is _____ but a wise leader.

　　A. anything B. anyone

　　C. anybody D. anywhere

　　【陷阱】容易誤選B、C。因為句子主語指人，似乎只有B、C才與之一致。

　　【分析】其實，正確答案應選A。因為 anything but 是習語，意為根本不是或一點也不，不僅可用于事物，也可用于人。如：

　　Ill do anything but that. 我絕不會干那種事。

　　The party was anything but a success. 晚會根本不成功。

　　Her father was anything but a poet. 她父親根本不是詩人。

　　Such a man was anything but a hero. 那樣的人絕不算英雄。
