Hi everybody, my name is Alisha, and today I'm going to talk about the difference between

嗨！大家好，我是 Alisha，今天我要跟你們講

「一些」和「任何」之間的相異處。

祈使句型

Okay, the first point I want to talk about with “some” and “any” is how to use

我想講的第一點是要怎麼把「一些」和「任何」，

“some” and “any” in terms of where to put these two words in a sentence.

So we use “some” and “any” in the same position in a sentence, we use “some”

在一個句子中，「some」和「any」會被放在同一個位子，我們會在名詞或是名詞片語

and “any” before the noun or before a noun phrase; so please be careful don't use

前面用到「some」和「any」；所以請注意，不要在名詞後面加上

“some” or “any” after the noun, you should be using “some” and “any” before the noun.

「some」和「any」，你們要在名詞前面用到「some」和「any」。

Okay, so given this, let's take a look at how to decide whether you should use “some”

所以因為這樣的條件下，我們要來看在一個句子中，你們哪時候

or you should use “any” in your sentence.

All right, first, I want to talk about “some.”

We use “some” in positive statements, so these are statements that do not have a

我們用「some」在肯定的陳述中，所以這些聲明不會有

negative in them, we use them for positive statements.

否定意思，我們只會在正面的聲明中用到它。

A few examples here are, I need some butter.

這邊有幾個例子：我需要一些（some）奶油。

下一個例子是：我們有「一些 (some) 食物」。

“Some” comes before the word “food,” the noun, a positive statement.

「Some」在名詞「食物 food」前面，是一句正面的陳述。

第三個例子是：他們已經有幾個 (some) 好想法。

So good ideas is used as a noun phrase here, good ideas; “some” comes before that noun phrase.

這邊的好想法 good ideas 就是名詞片語，「some」就在那名詞前面。

So these are a few examples of positive statements.

所以這邊還有幾個正面陳述的例句。

We can use “some” in positive statements, that's the first point I want to make.

這是第一點我想要先提的：用「some」在正面的陳述中。

The second point I want to make is here, it's about requests.

第二點我想要講的是：做出要求。

We use “some” in a couple of different question patterns, one of them is making requests.

我們會用「some」來詢問幾個不同形式的問題，其中一個方式就是提出要求。

When we want to make requests we can use “some” in the request, for example, can I have some time off.

當我們想要提出要求時，我們可以用「some」在句子中，例如：我可不可以休息一下 (some)。

We use “some” here because it's a request, making a request to your boss, for example,

這邊我們用 「some」因為這指的是一個要求，例如你跟老闆要求一件事情。

這樣的情況下，我們就用「some」。

可不可以給我休息幾 (some) 天？

第二個例子：你可不可以給我一些 (some) 空間？

This is another request, we can tell, will you give me, this is a very good hint that

這裡還有另一種提出要求的方式，你可以給我嗎？這是一個非常明顯的線索，

someone is asking for something else, a request should use “some.”

某人要求某件東西，提出要求就是要用「some」。

Finally, can he take care of some things for me?

最後一個句子：他可以幫我照料幾件 (some) 東西嗎？

他可以幫我照料幾件 (some) 東西嗎？

In this case, it's asking for someone's help in a situation, so it's a request we should

這樣的條件下，這是在一個情境下要求某人的幫忙，這是一個要求，所以我們

Ok, so the second point I want to talk about is using “some” for offers, to make offers

第二點我要講的是要怎麼在提出意見時用「some」。提出意見時，

Again, offers, like requests, are a question, this is a question pattern where we should

提供意見像是做出一個要求一樣，問一個問題；我們會在這個問題句型中，

use the word “some” to make the question.

So in the first example, would you like some wine?

所以第一個例子：你想要來點 (some) 酒嗎？

We use “some” here in the pattern "would you like," this is a really good pattern to

這邊「你想要 (would you like)」這種句型，我們會用「some」，這是一句非常好的句型，

Would you like some, a few other things we'll see in just a moment, but we should use “some”

你想要來點 (some)，等等我們可以再看到幾個例子，但這邊我們要用

here because it's an offer-type question.

「some」，因為這是一種提供詢問的方式。

One more example, do you want some cheese?

再來一個例子：你想要來點 (some) 起司嗎？

So these two patterns, "would you like" and "do you want," they really are expressing

所以這兩個句型：你想要「would you like」和「do you want」，它們都是表達

the same thing, the difference is in the level of formality.

同樣一件事情，只是在正式程度上有點差異。

"Would you like" is more formal than "do you want," these two questions, really, they have

「Would you like」比「do you want」更為正式，這兩個問法

the same point; there's they're offering something, but the level of formality is what's different here.

意思都是一樣的，它們都在提供意見，只是差在情境的不同。

你想要再多一點 (some) 時間嗎？

So here, again, an offer, a more casual offer with "do you want."

這邊一樣，又是提出意見，不過是一個較為隨興的提議「do you want」。

And again, we have “some” plus "more time."

這邊我們有「some」和「more time」。

So please make sure to use “some” before the noun or before the noun phrase and use

請記得「some」是要在名詞和名詞片語的前面，並且可以

it in your offer questions as well as your request questions.

用在提供意見或是提出要求的時候。

So those are the two types of questions I want to talk about today when we're using some.

所以 some 的這兩種問句是我今天想要講的。

Also, please remember we use it in positive statements as well.

也請不要忘記我們會在正面陳述中用到它。

Okay, so with that let's continue on to “any.”

“Any” is sort of the opposite in terms of statement-making from “some,” we use

「Any」比起「some」，比較像是一種否定的情形，我們會用

Here, I have "don't," "do not," the negative here; I don't have any money, therefore, is

這邊我有「don't」，「do not」這個否定字；我沒有一毛 (any) 錢，因此這是

correct, we should use “any” in a negative statement.

正確的用法，我們會用「any」在否定陳述中。

Another example, they didn't get any new clothes.

另一個例子：他們沒有任何 (any) 一件新衣服。

They "didn't," again, here's our negative, they "didn't," "did not," so we should use

他們沒有「didn't」，這裡否定字「did not」，所以我們在

“any” before our noun phrase, which is new clothes here.

名詞片語新衣服 new clothes 前面用「any」。

最後一個例子：我們沒有做 (any) 餅乾。

Here "didn't" is in the negative form again, a past tense statement plus “any” before

這邊的「didn't」就是否定形式，一個過去陳述並且在名詞餅乾 cookies

So please use “any” when you want to make a negative statement.

所以當你們想要陳述一個否定時，請用「any」。

Ok, the last point I want to make today is about questions.

今天最後一點我想要講的就是用 any 提出問題。

We use “any” with questions, yes, but we do not use “any” in requests and offers,

我們用「any」來問問題，不過我們不會用它在要求或是提供意見的時候，

we just learned that we use “some” to make requests and offers.

我們剛學到的，「some」可以用來要求或是提供意見。

So in other questions, like information questions, asking for information, not for a request,

所以在其他形式的問題中，像是問取資訊的時候、不是要求、

not for an offer, but asking for information, for example, we use “any” in these cases.

不是提供意見，但要求訊息，例如，我們會在這些情況下用到「any」。

So this is an information question, yes or no, do we need any salt?

所以這就是一種詢問，要或不要，我們需要點 (any) 鹽嗎？

This is not a request, this is not an offer, so “any” is the best choice for this sentence.

這不是一個要求，也不是一個意見，所以「any」是這個句子的首選。

In the next example we have, does he have any markers?

下一個例子：他有沒有 (any) 麥克筆嗎？

Again, this is an information question, the person speaking is asking for information,

這是一個詢問，這個人在問一些訊息，

not making a request and not making an offer, so we should use “any” here.

不是要求或是提供意見，這邊我們就要用「any」。

Ok, so the final example here is, did she give you any tips?

最後一個例子：她有給你點 (any) 訣竅嗎？

So our noun phrase here is "tips," "any" comes before that and we notice, also, this is not

我們這邊可以看到，有名詞片語訣竅「tips」，而「any」就在它前面，這不是

a request, this is not an offer, so we should use “any,” it's an information question,

一個要求，也不是一個建議，所以我們要用「any」。這是一個訊息的詢問，

So let's keep this in mind, we use “any” for questions which are not requests and not

我們都要記得，我們會用「any」來問問題，不過不是用來要求或是

offers, think about it as asking for information only; you're not making a request for help,

建議，就想像只是問取訊息，你不是要求幫助，

not making a request for an item, but if you're looking for information, you should probably

不是要求一件物品，但如果你在尋求一個資訊，你就

Okay, so let's take a look at a few examples sentences that I've prepared.

我們來看看幾個我準備的例句。

The first one here is, do we have _____ milk?

第一個例子是：我們有 ____ 牛奶嗎？

So here I'm looking for information, I'm not making a request, I'm not making an offer,

這邊我在詢問一個資訊，我不是做要求或提供意見，

I want information, so I should use “any” in this case.

我想要知道的消息，所以在這情況下我要用「any」。

Do we have any milk is the correct sentence here.

我們還有有牛奶嗎？加上 any 這個句子就對了。
