VOA一分鐘英語：用法辨析：everyone 和 anyone

單詞 “everyone” 和 “anyone” 分別被譯為 “每個人” 和 “任何人”。“Everyone” 不指具體哪個人，強(qiáng)調(diào)整體；“anyone” 表示任何人、無論誰，但不特指一個人。
 
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!
