文字稿

Hello ladies and gentlemen! Tom here from BBC Learning English. Today, I’m going to explain the difference between everyone and anyone.

When I say ‘Hello, everyone!’. I’m talking to all the people in a group. Or, all the people watching this video.

Anyone, however, relates to any one individual person in a group. And we often use it to ask questions.

For example: ‘Is anyone listening?’ Or, ‘Can anyone answer today’s question?’

Here, I’m asking if any individuals in the group are listening. If the whole group is listening, we can say: ‘Yes, everyone is listening.’ – which is something that English teachers love to hear!

用法总结

1.“Everyone” 指的是 “某个群体中的所有人、每个人”。

  • Hello, everyone!

2.“Anyone” 指的是 “一群人中的任何人”,常用在疑问句中。

  • Is anyone listening?
  • Can anyone answer today’s question?
