释义 | nothing Nothing means 'not a single thing', or 'not a single part of something'. You use a singular form of a verb with nothing. Nothing is happening. Nothing has been discussed. ◊ WARNING You do not usually use any other negative word such as 'not' after nothing. You do not say, for example, 'Nothing didn't happen'. You say 'Nothing happened'. Similarly, you do not use nothing as the object of a sentence which already has a negative word in it. You do not say, for example, 'I couldn't hear nothing'. You say 'I couldn't hear anything.' I did not say anything. He never seemed to do anything at all. ◊ 'nothing but' Nothing but is used in front of a noun group or an infinitive without 'to' to mean 'only'. For example, instead of saying 'In the fridge there was only a piece of cheese', you can say 'In the fridge there was nothing but a piece of cheese'. For a few months I thought and talked of nothing but Jeremy. He did nothing but complain. |
