That night, I used a trick that has served me well in countless other public-speaking situations. I narrowed my
focus from a giant group to an individual (or individuals in this case). That allowed me to establish an intimate connection under circumstances that were anything but.
"anything but"用在句尾很奇怪，是不是缺少了单词？

你看看文件其他地方是否出过错误，确实，无论这里是做副词，还是介词或连词，后面都应该还有内容。

under circumstances that were anything but (intimate)
这里的“circumstances”指的是“public-speaking”。由于能将focus集中于一个人或少数人身上，演讲者在原本一点也不（anything but）私密的情况下，与人建立起“an intimate connection”。

except
anything but 有两个用法：
1. except: 后面跟（或者省略）一个前面提到的名词。
2. not at all：加强否定语气
感觉是用法1。这里应该是省略了“the circumstance I am facing now”。还原省略部分后成为That allowed me to establish an intimate connection under circumstances that were anything but the circumstance I am facing now.
用这个方法我能在目前情况之外的其他场合（和听众）亲密互动。
