anything可用于人吗? 请看题：

　　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】容易误选B、C。因为句子主语指人，似乎只有B、C才与之一致。

　　【分析】其实，正确答案应选A。因为 anything but 是习语，意为根本不是或一点也不，不仅可用于事物，也可用于人。如：

　　Ill do anything but that. 我绝不会干那种事。

　　The party was anything but a success. 晚会根本不成功。

　　Her father was anything but a poet. 她父亲根本不是诗人。

　　Such a man was anything but a hero. 那样的人绝不算英雄。
