回答如下:
复合不定代词anything跟否定词连用属于全部否定; 而everything跟否定词not连用则是部分否定。例如:
There is not anything in the box. 箱子里什么东西也没有。
I don't know anything about her. 我对她的情况毫无所知。
I don't know everything. 我并非啥都知道。(即:有的我知道,有的我不知道)
Everything he said is not right. 并非他所说的一切都是正确的。(即:他所说得)
有的正确,有的不正确。)
Not everything is put in good order. 并非所有东西都放的有条不紊(整整齐齐)。
但要注意两点:
1. any-构成的复合不定代词作主语时,不能跟not连用,除非复合不定代词后面有
定语从句。例如:
(误) Anything is not in good order.
(正) Anything (that) he put is not in good order.
(误) Anyone doesn't know it.
(正) Anyone who stays around me doesn't know it.
2. 如果复合不定代词every-所在的否定句中的否定词不是not,而是never,no, none,no one,neither等,句子则是全部否定。例如:
Everything is never satisfying. 一切都不令人满意。
