Is there something wrong with this machine?—— No.It works well.

Question

Is there something wrong with this machine?—— No.It works well.

求问为什么要用something wrong而不用anything wrong?

Answer 1

国内人对这个基本不可能区分开来，根本就不是国内老师所教的疑问句和陈述句的关系。

具体区别：
Something" implies that the noun in question is finite; is used when there are fewer possibilities; and is selective.
"Anything" implies that the noun is infinite but this is somewhat unrealistic so it is implied that there is a larger set of possibilities than with "something"; it is not selective

很多情况下something 和anything 不可互换，但也有很多人不在乎它们的区别，不必太计较。给你个例子，"Can I have some water please?" "Sure. Anything else?" 这里，anything不可以被something 替换。多看看文章就知道了。

一般情况下,something 用于肯定句,anything用于否定和疑问.而在很有礼貌的问某人要吃什么和喝什么时,应该使用something .这是一种特殊的用法.

something与some一样常用于肯定句，而anything与any一样常用于否定句和疑问句。不过，在表示请求、建议或征求意见的疑问句中常用some或something。在表达“任何”这一含义时肯定句中常用any或anything。例如：
1.——I feel a bit hungry.
——Why don't you have some bread?（86年高考题）
2.Would you like something to drink?
3.You can get it in any department store.这东西你在哪个百货商店都买得到，
4.I believe anything he says.

Answer 3

其实在说话的时候大家是不会在意用something还是anything的。
不过在语法层面上来讲，确实有一种解释：就是something的时候提问者是希望得到肯定的回答；就是在问的人觉得这个机器确实有问题了，问另一个人说这个东西哪里出问题了？只不过这里回答者泼了冷水说没有问题而已。

Answer 4

因为wrong是不可数名词，不能用anything提问，只能用something
