有读者问: 下面一句中的any是什么意思,语法上如何分析?
(1)I don't like it any.
不定代词any在此相当于at all,用以加强否定的语气。语法上,它相当于副词,在此起状语的作用。any的这种用法常用在否定句和疑问句中,再如:
(2)It didn't hurt him any .
(3)That didn't help them any .
(4)Does the radio disturb you any ?
(5)Did he work any this week?
与any如此用法很相似的不定代词还有some,其义相当于to some extent,但多用在美国英语中,如:
(6)He is farming some .
(7)My experience on the farm helped me some , of course.
(8)The quality of the American soldier may have deteriorated some over the years.
