《牛津高阶英语词典》(2053页)这样解释:

The difference between somewhere and anywhere is the same as the difference between some and any.

由此,可以看下someany的使用区别:

Certain determinatives, pronouns, and adverbs which, by reason of their meaning, are more usual in positive contexts are replaced by a corresponding set of non-assertive forms in negative, interrogative, and conditional contexts.Assertive forms include the some series of words(e.g.some, someone, somebody, something, somewhere) which contrast with the non-assertive any-series(e.g. any, anybody, anyone, anything, anywhere).

The demarcation between assertive and non-assertive is not rigid.

Although non-assertive forms are often impossible in positive statements, assertive forms may be possible in negative and interrogative clauses, where they suggest a markedly positive meaning.Non-assertive forms occasionally occur in positive statements.

《牛津英语用法指南》161.4节指出:在if从句中,someany都常用。

If you want some/any help, let me know.

再如:赵振才教授也认为,some, something, someone, somebody也可以用于条件句中:

1 lf l had some money, l could buy it.

2 lf they don't like something they simply veto it.

《薄冰英语惯用法词典》例句:

lf there is some trouble, drop me a line.

所以,我认为,此题可以填somewhere,作为assertive form(断定词项),表示说话人比较肯定。但是,语意上,似乎不宜填everywhere, 比较绝对,如果改为虚拟语气,似乎可以接受,如:lf you could go everywhere, where would you go?但是,如果属于初高中考试试题,填anywhere最佳,最好不填somewhere,以免失分。

仅供参考。

这道题的答案倾向于选择anywhere

选项中出现了somewhere,会让人觉得是不是考查any表示非肯定,some表示肯定。其实any除了表示非肯定(对应some)之外,还可以用来强调任意挑选。根据语义逻辑,这里选择anywhere语义比较通顺——如果你能去任何一个地方,你会去哪儿?somewhereeverywhere与后面的问句语义有些脱钩,都不太合适。

强调任意挑选时,疑问句、否定句、肯定句都可以用(《牛津英语用法词典》)。

示例:I could go anywhere in the world. (牛津词典)

If you can go anywhere, where will you go?

参考译文:如果你想去某个地方,你将会去哪里呢?

答案是anywhere,请问somewhereeverywhere为什么不行呢?

1anywhere 属于“非肯定词”用在“否定/疑问/条件”【非确定/肯定语境】

2somewhere属于“肯定词”用在“肯定句”或者“肯定语境疑问句”【确定/肯定语境】

3everywhere属于“肯定词”用在“肯定句”【确定/肯定语境】

备注:anywheresomewhere用法区别类似于anysome用法区别。
