SOME OR ANY - TRANSLATION


SOME OR ANY


Some y any se utilizan cuando no queremos o no podemos expresar con precisión la cantidad. Some y any hacen referencia a cantidades indefinidas y se podrían traducir por “alguno/a; algunos/algunas”. A nivel semántico, some y any son sinónimos. Lo que les diferencia es el tipo de frase en el cual se utilizan.
Some
Se utiliza en frases afirmativas, delante de un sustantivo:
·   Contable en plural:
I have some friends.
·   Incontable (singular):
I have some money.
Any
Se utiliza en frases interrogativas y negativas, delante de un sustantivo:
·   Contable en plural:
Do you have any friends? No, I don’t have any friends.
·   Incontable (singular):
Do you have any money? No, I don’t have any money.
Observaciones:
1. Some se puede utilizar en preguntas para las que esperamos una respuesta afirmativa, como por ejemplo ofrecimientos o cuando se pide permiso para algo:
Would you like some wine? (en una cena)
Could I have some more cake, please?
2. Any se utiliza también en frases aparentemente afirmativas pero que tienen un significado negativo. Se trata de frases que contienen alguna palabra negativa como never, hardly ever etc. y que, por lo tanto, no pueden tener el verbo en la forma negativa:

I never drink any wine.

PEACE'S DAY - 30TH JANUARY 


Blowin' in the wind. BOB DYLAN

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Ain't No Mountain High Enough By Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell

LYRICS

Listen baby, ain't no mountain high,
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough baby
If you need me call me no matter where you are,
No matter how far; don't worry baby
Just call my name; I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry,
Oh baby 
There ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day on, I made a vow,
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how
Oh baby

CHORUS

Oh no darling
No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby, na na baby
'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble;
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand,
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there
CHORUS
Don'tcha know that there
CHORUS
