Question

一道英语问题

He is_____.
A something of a poet B anything of a poet C something of the poet D anything of the poet
答案选A ，为什么啊？

Answer 1

A
something of a(n) 是现代英语中的一种特殊表达法，其意义相当于程度状语,表示“在某种意义(或程度)上”,“有一点……”之意，用在肯定的陈述句中。
例句: She is something of an artist。她有几分艺术家的味道。
The soldier found himse一f something of a hero when he returned to his vil-lage·这个士兵回到村子时,觉得自己在农民心目中有点象英雄。

Answer 2

选A “他从某种意义上说，算得上一个诗人”，而anything不能表达这个意思，无此用法

Answer 3

something of a +职业名词，意思是“有点像”，“在某种意义(或程度)上”
=somewhat of a +职业名词

He is something of a poet 意思是“他有几分诗人的味道。”

Answer 4

something of 是有几分, 在某种程度上
