(单词翻译)

hardly,scarcely

这一对副词都同样“几乎不”、“几乎没有”的否定意味,但涵义重心有细微的差异。

Hardly强调“困难”,指程度而言,常用以修饰表示能力的词,与can、ever、any等词连用。

He hardly knew what to say.

他简直不知道说什么才好。

I can hardly believe that some socialites and dignitaries are involved in syndicated crime.

我简直不能相信,一些社会名流,达官政要竟然涉及集团罪行。

scarcely强调“不足”,主要指数量而言,常与enough、sufficient、any或数词连用。例:

When he played the piano he was scarcely four years old.

他懂得弹钢琴还不满四岁。

The tram was so crowded that there was scarcely sufficient room for you.

电车上十分拥挤,几乎没有你立足之地。

At midnight,scarcely any taxi could be found in the streets.

午夜时分,街上几乎看不到一辆的士。

请注意,在表示“一…就…”的涵义时,hardly…when…和scarcely…before…,可互换使用。当hardly或scarcely放在句首时,主句中的主语和辅助动词的次序要颠倒。例如:

Hardly(or Scarcely)had I entered the station when(or before)the last train left.

我刚进入火车站不久,火车就开走了。
