时间:2015-05-19 23:49:36

(单词翻译:单击)

   hardly,scarcely和barely这三个词在意义上都接近于否定。

  hardly 主要与any,ever,at all或动词can连用:
  He has hadly any money.
  他几乎没有钱。(非常少)
  I hardly ever go out.
  我很少外出。(我极少外出。)
  It hadly rained at all last summer.
  去年夏天没怎么下雨。
  Her case is so heavy that she can hadly lift it.
  她的箱子太重了,她简直提不起来。
  也可以和其他动词连用:
  I hardly know him.
  我不太认识他。(我只是与他认识而已。)
  注意不要把副词hard与hardly搞混:
  He looked hard at it.
  他使劲地盯着它看。(他在盯着它。)
  He hardly looked at it.
  他几乎没看它。(他瞄了它一眼。)
  scarcely意为“几乎不”,它可以代替hardly。上述例句中也可用scarcely any/scarcely ever等。
  但scarcely主要意为“不到”、“不足”:
  There were scarcely twenty people there.
  那儿连20个人都没有。
  (关于hardly/scarcely之后的倒装语序,见第45节与第342节E。)
  barely意为“不超过”、“仅仅”:
  There were barely twenty people there.
  那儿不超过20个人。(刚刚20个)
  I can barely see it.
  我勉强看得见它。(我只能看见而已。)
