从一道高考题看none but与nothing but 的区别 2007的江西省高考英语考了这样一道考题:—What do you think of the performance today?—Great! ___B___ but a musical genius could perform so successfully. (江西卷)A. All B. None C. Anybody D. Everybody此题答案选B。none but是习语,其意为“只”“仅”,句意为:只有音乐天才才可演奏得那么成功。有的同学也许会问,none but与表示类似意思的nothing but 什么区别呢?none but与nothing but均表示“只”“仅”,两者的区别如下:1. 正如nothing通常只用于指事物不用于指人一样,nothing but通常也只用于事物,不用于人。如:Nothing but the best is sold in our shops. 本店所售商品均属精品。He eats nothing but hamburgers. 他除了汉堡包之外,别的什么都不吃。For miles and miles there’s nothing but desert. 绵延数英里除了沙漠别无他物。2. 正如none既可用于指事物也可用于指人一样,none but也可既指事物也指人。如:(1) none but用于指人的用例:None but the brave deserves the fair. (谚语)只有勇士才配得到美人。None but fools have ever believed it. 只有傻瓜才相信它。None but a dedicated scientist would want to read such a detailed report. 只有一位全身心投入的科学家才会想看这样一份详细的报告。(2) none but用于指事物的用例:None but the best is good enough for my child. 只有最好的才配得上我的孩子。None but the lonely heart can know my sorrow. 只有这颗孤独的心能知道我的哀愁。注:用于指事物时,none but与nothing but有时可互换。【友情链接】含有none的其他重要习语:1. have none of sth (1) 没有一点。如:He has none of his father’s talent. 他一点没有他父亲那样的才气。(2) 不参与,不接受,不同意。如:He was offered a job but he said he would have none of it. 他被人提供一份工作,但他说他不会接受。I’ll have none of your stupid ideas!我才不会同意(接受) 你那愚蠢的想法呢! 2. none other (than) 正是,就是。如:The new arrival was none other than the President. 刚到达的不是别人,正是总统。A:Can it really be Bill? 那真是比尔吗?B:None than. 不是他,还有谁? 3. none the 毫不,决不(后接比较级)。如:My car is none the worse for the accident. 我的车并不因 为出了这次事故而有所损坏。4. none too [so] 不很,毫不(后接形容词或副词)。如:He’s none so fond of her. 他并不十分喜欢她。The salary they pay me is none too high. 他们付给我的薪水一点也不高。5. none the wiser 不知情,不晓得。如:He explained it carefully, but I was still none the wiser. 对这件事他细心地加以解释,但是,我仍然还不明白。After hearing her talk on computers I’m afraid I’m none the wiser. 我听了她关于计算机的讲话之后似乎毫无收获。
