almost nearly hardly mostly 区别almost nearly hardly mostly 区别 -He isn't particular about his food. -Yes, he eats _ anything. A. nearly B. almost C. mostly 让我们看看这三个选项的意思各是什么。 1. almost=very nearly,表示"几乎、差不多",常可互换使用。例如: It's almost/nearly ten o'clock.差不多10点了。 He fell off a tree and almost/nearly died.他从树上摔下来,几乎丧命。 析:事实角度讲,almost比nearly的差距更小。说话人的心理角度来讲, almost暗含"还有距离",nearly暗含"似无差别"。比如上面的例句,第一句用 almost比nearly反映出时间更接近10点,但用almost反映出说话人的心理活动是"还差一点儿才到10点",若用nearly则反映出说话人的心理活动是"可以说已到10点了"。第2句也是这样:用almost反映出说话人的心理活动是"还活着"用nearly反映出说话人的心理活动是"快死了"。所以用almost,还是使用nearly,说话人的心理活动是关键。. 2. almost和nearly可互换使用的场合 (1)在肯定句中 The old man is almost/nearly 90 years old.这个老人快90岁了。 (2)修饰all, every, always等时 I go to bed at ten almost/nearly every day.我几乎每天都是10点钟上床睡觉。 (3)在行为动词的否定式前 He almost/nearly didn't hear what I said.他几乎没听到我讲些什么。3.只能用almost的场合 (1)修饰no, none, never, any以及由no或any的合成词。例如: I have almost nothing to do today.今天我几乎没什么事可做。 This word is to be found in almost any dictionary.这个词几乎在任何一本词典中都可以查到。 There is almost none left.几乎什么也没留下。 (2)修饰表示感觉或心理的动词或形容词。例如: I almost think you are right.我还不完全相信你是对的。 (3)修饰more than和too。例如: That's almost too much.这简直是太过分了。 4.只能用nearly的场合 (1)被very, not, pretty修饰时。例如: I'm not nearly ready.我还没有准备好。 I know pretty nearly all the secrets of his married life.我几乎知道他的全部婚姻生活的秘密。 注意:not nearly=far from, much less than差得远,远远不够。例如: There is not nearly enough money for a new car.买一部新车的钱远远不够。 "几乎不"只能用hardly,不能用nearly not也不能说almost not。 (2)表示要做什么事但后来"没有做"或"避开不做"时。例如: We nearly called to see you last Saturday.我们上周六差点来看你。 5. mostly用作副词,意思是"大体上、主要地、大部分、多半、通常"等。 She is mostly out on Sundays.她周日多半不在家。 The students in our school are mostly from cities.我们学校的学生大部分来自城市。 注意:almost和mostly用作副词时,意思是不同的。例如: Your answers are almost correct.你的答案非常正确
