[請益] of all

[AtticusFinch (To Kill a Mockingbird)]

of all people suddenly withdrew his bid.

請問上面這個句子的 of all 是什麼意思呢？

推 Makino0711:of all people 在許多人(所有人)之中
→ Makino0711:此外 應該是be apt to v. 怎麼會是 v-ing 呢? 怪怪
已更正，十分謝謝。

推 tengharold:he (who is the least likely) of all people (to do
→ tengharold:sth.) did sth.
推 heziying:of all people是說很意外,在好多候選人之中怎麼會是他?
→ tengharold:最不可能做某事的某人卻做了某事 = he of all people
→ tengharold:did sth.
→ AtticusFinch:謝謝以上各位
