no one, nobody, none 的用法区别

(1) no one=nobody，两者均只能指人不指物，其后通常不接of短语，作主语时谓语用单数；而none 既可指人也可指物，其后通常接of短语，

用作主语时，若指不可数名词，谓语只能用单数，若指可数名词，则谓语可用单数(较正式)也可用复数)(用于非正式文体)：No one [Nobody]

likes it. 没人喜欢它。None of the food was left. 一点食物都没留下。
None of the books is [are] interesting. 没有一本书有趣。

(2) none 往往暗示有一定的范围(这种范围通常就表现在其后的of短语上)，而 no one 或 nobody 则不暗示这种范围(同时也不接表范围的of短语)。比较：“Did any of your friends come to see you?” “None.” “你的朋友当中有谁来看过你吗?” “一个也没来。”(None为None of my friends之略)
“Did anyone come to see you?” “No one.” “有人来看过你吗?”“谁也没来。”

(3) none 有时暗示一种数量，即指数量上“一个也没有”，而 no one 或 nobody 则往往表示一种全面否定，即指“谁都没有”，所以在回答 how many 或 how much 的提问时，通常用 none，而在回答 who 的提问时，通常用 no one 或 nobody。
