用法說明

How is "Everything" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Everything"?

everything + 形容詞子句 vs everything + 不定詞

  • everything + 形容詞子句 通常用於描述一個已存在或已知的完整集合,強調「所有…的事物」。
  • everything + 不定詞 (to + V) 則常用於表達「所有需要/應該做的事」,帶有責任、計畫或待辦事項的含義。
  • 在表達「擁有的一切」或「生活中的所有事物」時,通常使用 everything (that) I haveeverything in my life,而非不定詞結構。 EN: She told me everything she knew about the project. 翻譯: 她把她對這個專案所知道的一切都告訴了我。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Everything"?Which "Everything" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×All things are ready for the party.

Everything is ready for the party.

在表示「所有事物」的整體概念時,通常使用「everything」而非逐項列舉的「all things」。「everything」強調整體性,而「all things」聽起來較不自然,像是逐項清點。

×Everything are possible if you try.

Everything is possible if you try.

「Everything」是單數不定代名詞,即使它指代多項事物,其後動詞必須使用單數形式(如 is, was, has)。

×I told everything about the plan.

I told everyone about the plan.

「Everything」指「所有事物、事情」,而「everyone」指「每個人」。此處要傳達的對象是人(每個人),所以應該用「everyone」。

×I don't know everything.

I don't know anything.

在否定句中,通常用「anything」來表示「任何事物」,而「not... everything」意思是「並非所有事情都...」,語意不同。想表達「我什麼都不知道」應說「I don't know anything.」。

×This is everything's place.

This is the place for everything.

「Everything」通常不使用所有格形式('s)。要表達「所有東西的...」時,應改用介系詞片語,如「for everything」、「of everything」。

×I bought some new books. Everything are interesting.

I bought some new books. They are all interesting.

「Everything」是一個單數代名詞,不能用來指代前面明確提到的複數名詞(如 books)。應該使用複數代名詞(they)或「all of them」。
