Difference between someone and someone else
このQ&Aのポイント
- The difference between 'someone' and 'someone else' lies in the context and specificity. Both terms mean 'someone' or 'another person', but 'someone else' implies a different person than the one previously mentioned or expected. For example, in the sentence 'Recently found that someone using my computer without permission', 'someone' refers to an unidentified person, whereas in 'Recently found that someone else using my computer without permission', 'someone else' suggests a different individual other than the speaker or someone previously known.
- When it comes to using these terms, it depends on the intended meaning and the clarity of the context. If the speaker wants to emphasize that it was another person who used their computer without permission, they can use 'someone else'. However, if there is no need for such distinction, 'someone' can suffice.
- In the example sentence, 'Recently found that someone using my computer without permission', the use of 'someone' implies an unidentified person who used the computer without permission. It does not specify whether it was the speaker or someone else. On the other hand, 'Recently found that someone else using my computer without permission' suggests that it was a different individual other than the speaker. Depending on the intended meaning, both sentences can be appropriate.

おたずねの意味だと，上の文が普通だと思います． 下の文は「あいつが使ったのは分かってるけどもう一人いる！」場合． もう一つおまけ "We need SOMEONE who could help this lady...." では，自分がその人になる可能性も含まれます． ＳＥＳＡＭＥ ＳＴＲＥＥＴでビッグバードが自分が「役立たず」だとこぼす話の中で，"I'm not somebody."というのがあったように記憶しています．"somebody" "someone"は「誰か」であって，自分を含める可能性も十分あるようです．

elseが入ることで、別の人という意味合いが強くなると思います。
