英语可说not something吗？英语可说not something吗？如果能说，它与not anything有什么区别呢？请先看下面一题：“If you want a necklace, I’ll buy one for you at once.” “Oh, no. A necklace is not _________ that I need most.A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything此题容易误选A，机械地套用以下规则：something 用于肯定句，anything 用于否定句或疑问句。当然以上规则在通常情况下是有效的，但此句不属通常用法。此题的最佳答案应是B，something 在此的意思不是“某种东西”，而是指“那种东西”或“这种东西”，即心中最想要的那种东西(相当于 the thing)。同样地，下面几题的最佳答案也是 something，而不是 anything：(1) It’s not _________ that we want to talk about; let’s change the subject. A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything(2) It’s not _________ I enjoy; I do it purely out of a sense of duty.A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything(3) Self-control is not _________ that comes with your birth.A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything(4) This is not _________ that would disturb me anyway. A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything比较：not anything表示一种完全否定，相当于nothing。如：Be careful not to break anything. 当心别打破什么了。I can’t believe anything he said. 我不相信他所说的任何话。We can’t decide anything now. 我们现在不能决定什么。I tell you flatly that I will not promise anything. 我直截了当地告诉你我不会答应任何事。
