| 词组 | someplace |
| 释义 | someplace Someplace is like anyplace, an adverb that has become standard in American English during the 20th century. A few commentators continue to call it an informal word and to discourage its written use in favor of somewhere, but our evidence shows that someplace has been common in general and even academic writing since at least the 1940s: • They were going someplace together —Adria Locke Langley, A Lion Is in the Streets, 1945 • ... which we fear because someplace therein lurks a terror, the beast, which we cannot see —William Van O'Connor, Sense and Sensibility in Modern Poetry, 1948 • ... on the day of the happening they are supposed to chronicle he was someplace else —A. J. Liebling, New Yorker, 24 June 1950 • ... not so much a way to get someplace or a means to an end —Eugene Jennings, Psychology Today, July 1970 • Is it really better someplace else? —And More by Andy Rooney, 1982 See also anyplace; everyplace; noplace. |
