单词 anybody
释义 anybody
 /en"ee bod'ee, -bud'ee/, pron., n., pl. anybodies.
 pron.
  1. any person.
  2. anybody's guess, a matter of conjecture: It's anybody's guess why she quit.
  n.  
  3. a person of some importance: If you're anybody, you'll receive an invitation.
 [1250-1300; ME ani bodi. See ANY, BODY]
 Usage. The pronoun ANYBODY is always written as one word: Is anybody home? There isn't anybody in the office. The two-word noun phrase ANY BODY means "any group" (Any body of students will include a few dissidents) or "any physical body": The search continued for a week despite the failure to find any body. If the word a can be substituted for any without seriously affecting the meaning, the two-word noun phrase is called for: a body of students; failure to find a body. If the substitution cannot be made, the spelling is ANYBODY. ANYBODY is less formal than ANYONE. See also anyone, each, they.
