if anything与if anyone
1. if anything为习语,意为“若有什么不同的话”。如:
Her family, if anything, was richer than mine. 要说有什么区别的话,她家比我家有钱。
If anything, this coat is more expensive than that one. 如果有什么不同,那就是这件衣服比那件衣服更贵。
if anything也可以不作为习语使用,此时可按字面意思理解。如:

If anything had happened, he would have let her know. 如果发生了什么情况,他是会通知她的。
2. if anyone不是习语,通常直接按字面理解,即表示“有任何人”。如:

If anyone interrupted him he got angry. 如果有人打扰他,他就会生气。
