“It’s said that he is a wise leader.” “Oh, no, he is _____ but a wise leader.”

　　A. anything B. anyone

　　C. anybody D. anywhere

　　【陷阱】容易误选B、C。因为句子主语指人，似乎只有 B、C 才与之一致。

　　【分析】其实，正确答案应选A。因为 anything but 是习语，意为“根本不是”或“一点也不”，不仅可用于事物，也可用于人。如：

　　I’ll do anything but that. 我绝不会干那种事。

　　The party was anything but a success. 晚会根本不成功。

　　Her father was anything but a poet. 她父亲根本不是诗人。

　　Such a man wasanything but a hero. 那样的人绝不算英雄。
