96 數(shù)量形容詞some/any　Track 096

（1）從與名詞的搭配來看，some和any均可以與不可數(shù)名詞和可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)連用，表示“一些”。但some一般用在肯定句中；而any一般用在疑問句和否定句中
例句
a. I need some medicine to cure my cough.
b. Can you give me any advice?
c. I want to buy some computer books.
d. I don’t have any friends here.
（2）some的特殊用法
1）當(dāng)你期待一個正面回答或要鼓勵對方說“是”時，在疑問句中也要用some。例如：
a. Would you like to give me some advice?
b. Can I have some more wine?
2）some與數(shù)詞連用時，表示“大約”，此時所表示的數(shù)量往往給人以深刻的印象。例如：
a. Some 1,500 passengers and crew died aboard the Titanic when it sank on April 14, 1912 after hitting an iceberg. It lies at a depth of some 4,000 meters, some 640 kilometers south of Newfoundland, Canada.
泰坦尼克號于1912年月14日撞上冰山后沉沒，船上約有1,500名乘客和船員喪生。泰坦尼克號沉沒于距加拿大紐芬蘭以南約640公里處大約4,000米的深海里。
b. For “good”, the Chinese worked out a combination of “woman”and “child”. Once this combination process had started, there was no limit to it. The Chinese still use the system today, having developed it to the point of producing some forty thousand combined characters out of a few hundred original pictures of concrete objects. （用幾百個象形文字創(chuàng)造出40,000個左右的組合字。）
3）some可與單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞連用，這時some表示不確定的“某一個”“未知的”人或物。往往帶有缺乏興趣或蔑視的意味。例如：
a. A mirage is an atmospheric optical illusion of some object.
海市蜃樓是某個物體的奇特的光學(xué)幻影而已。
b. Some person at the gate is asking to see you.
門口有個人要見你。

我那件新夾克已經(jīng)掉了兩?？圩恿?。
—Some bargain.
什么破爛貨！
d. I don’t want to spend my life in some lonely little village.
我可不想把自己的一生消磨在某個偏僻的小山村里。
