形容词修饰不定代词时,通常都是要后置的。例如:
You'd better tell me something interesting.你最好给我说些有意思的事。
▲不过,如果不定代词前加了限定词,则形容词要前置,此时的不定代词具有名词性,侧重指那种心中所想的但又不明确的事物。例如:
We need a little something to help sometimes, to uplift us and make us feel better. 有时候,我们需要一些小东西来激励自己,使自己感觉更好。《柯林斯高阶英汉双解词典》
And there, glowing with a faint blue light in the glass test tubes on the tables, was the mysterious something which they had worked so hard to find: Radium. 在那儿,在桌子上的玻璃试管中,正闪烁着微弱的蓝光,这就是他们付出极其艰辛的劳动所要寻找的那种神秘的东西:镭。(人教84版《高中英语第二册》LESSON 13 MADAME CURIE AND RADIUM)
