一、详细释义:

只有
例句:
None but the aged and the sick stayed at home.

例句:
A covetous man is good to none but worse to himself.
贪婪之徒,与世无益,尤害自身。
二、词义辨析:
anything but,nothing but,all but,none but
这些短语均由代词加前置词but(除开)构成,但含义各不相同。anything but(=not at all,by no means,never)表示“决不,根本不”。nothing but(=only)表示“只不过,除了……以外什么也没有”。all but(=almost,nearly)表示“几乎,差一点”。none but(=no one except)表示“只有;除……外谁也不”。
三、参考例句:
