英语形容词和副词重点难点精讲:almost, nearly和hardly
1 almost 意为“几乎,差不多”,后面常跟any, no, never, none, nothing, nobody, every, everybody, everything,还常跟数词,但almost 不可与not连用。
He had almost nothing to do that day. 那天他几乎没有什么事做。
Almost every student has come. 几乎每个学生都到了。
The watch cost me almost 20 yuan. 这块表差不多花了我20元。
It is almost too much. 这简直太过分了。
She had almost no money. (正)她几乎没有钱了 。
She had almost not money. (误)
2 almost 还可以表示“差一点”,修饰动词、形容词或名词。
I almost fell off my bike. 我差一点儿从自行车上摔下来。
The car almost knocked the tree down. 汽车差点儿把那棵树撞倒。
She almost passed the maths exam. 她差一点就通过数学考试了。(但没通过 )
She is almost top of the match. 她差一点就是这场比赛的冠军。
3 nearly 也表示“几乎,差不多”,语气比almost 弱,nearly 不可同any, no, never, none, nothing, nobody, every, everybody, everything连用,但修饰时间词、数量词和年龄词时,用almost 和nearly 都可以。在not, pretty, very之后,只能用nearly 。
修饰时间词:
It is nearly six o'clock. (正)快6点了 。
It is almost six o'clock. (正)
修饰数量词:
He has nearly 500 yuan . (正)他差不多有500元 。
He has almost 500 yuan . (正)
修饰年龄词:
She is nearly fifteen years old. (正)她快要15岁了 。
She is almost fifteen years old. (正)
They are not nearly ready. (正)他们还远没有准备好 。
They are not almost ready. (误) (almost不可与not连用 )
I have nearly nothing to say. (误)
I have almost nothing to say. (正)我几乎没有什么可说 。
