經典引文

  • Thies giuers were almost Northmen.

almost的詳細講解:

詞語用法

adv. (副詞)
  1. almost是常用的程度副詞,基本意思是“幾乎,差不多”,強調差一點,缺一點。引申還可作“實際〔質〕上”“簡直”解。
  2. almost可用于修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞、名詞、代詞、數詞或介詞等,有時還可用來代替全句。almost不能與not連用,但可與no, none, nobody, nothing, never等否定詞連用,表示“幾乎,差不多”。
  3. 為了避免意義含混不清或者不合邏輯, almost常常緊接在它所修飾詞之前。修飾動詞時一般置于主要動詞之前,但要放在系動詞、助動詞和情態動詞之后。almost不能置于句末。
  4. almost可用于同級比較。
  5. almost無比較級和最高形形式,不可加very修飾。
  1. almost no,almost nothing和almost never都指“幾乎沒有”,屬美國英語,而英國人更習慣說scarcely/hardly any,scarcely/hardly anything和scarcely/hardly ever。不過兩國人都不說almost not,因almost不可被not修飾,可以說nearly not;
  2. almost與nearly意思相近,不過美國人習慣用almost。有時,almost只是比nearly更近了那么“一點點”。當描述即將達到目標或者接近于某數據等時,人們更習慣于用almost去表達“接近,但不完全一樣”的意思,使得陳述的內容沒有那么精確,明確。通常nearly不用在否定詞前,如never,nobody,nothing,any等,習慣與almost連用。

    It's nearly ten o'clock. (= perhaps 9.45)
    It's almost ten o'clock. (= perhaps 9.57)

    Jake is almost like a father to me.

詞義辨析

adv. (副詞)
almost, nearly
  • 這兩個詞的共同意思是“幾乎,差不多”。下列情況下??苫Q:
  • 1.在一般肯定結構中。例如:
  • There are almost〔nearly〕 enough people here to do the job.做這項工作,這些人手差不多夠了。
  • 2.在表達時間時。例如:
  • Well, it happened almost〔nearly〕 ten years ago.這差不多是十年以前的事了。
  • 3.在all, always, every等詞前。例如:
  • Almost〔nearly〕 every student spoke.幾乎每個學生都發了言。
  • He almost〔nearly〕 arrived late.他幾乎總是遲到。
  • 其區別是:
  • 1.從含義上說, almost強調“十分接近”,而nearly強調“尚有不足”,所以在表示“想要做而沒做成”“很可能發生但還未發生”時,要用nearly; 而表示“簡直”“像”等意思時,要用almost。例如:
  • I nearly committed a great error.我幾乎犯了大錯。
  • Please wait a minute.I'm almost out of breath.請等一下,我簡直喘不過氣來了。
  • It was almost like a dream.這簡直就像一場夢。
  • 試比較以下兩句:
  • I nearly fell off my bike.
  • 我差一點沒從自行車上掉下來。
  • I almost fell off my bike.
  • 我幾乎從自行車上掉下來。
  • 另外,修飾表示思想感情的動詞時,只能用almost。例如:
  • He almost dreaded a visit to the doctor.他幾乎害怕去看病。
  • She almost wanted to leave here.她幾乎想離開這里。
  • 2.從程度上說, almost比nearly更接近。例如:
  • We're nearly there.
  • 我們快到了。
  • We're almost there.
  • 我們馬上就要到了。
  • I'm nearly as clever as you.
  • 我快趕上你那么聰明了。
  • I'm almost as clever as you.
  • 我差不多和你一樣聰明了。
  • It is nearly time for class.
  • 快到上課的時間了。
  • (如8點上課,現在是7:50)
  • It is almost time for class.
  • 差不多是上課的時間了。
  • (如8點上課,現在是7:58)
  • 3.從使用場合上說,在有趨勢向某個目標發展的情況下,兩者可互換。而在沒有這種趨勢或根本不可能達到的場合下,則只能用nearly而不能用almost。例如:
  • 我們這只貓什么都懂,快趕上人了。
  • [誤] Our cat understands everything— she's almost human.
  • [正] Our cat understands everything— she's nearly human.
  • 我姑姑說話簡直像個外國人。
  • [誤] My aunt almost sounds foreign.
  • [正] My aunt nearly sounds foreign.
  • 4.從語氣上說, almost只是一般陳述; 而nearly則具有較明顯的驚訝、抱怨等感情色彩。試比較以下兩個句子:
  • 差不多花了我一百元錢。
  • It cost me almost a hundred yuan .
  • (說說而已)
  • It cost me nearly a hundred yuan .
  • (太貴了)
  • It's almost 40 minutes' walk to the park.
  • 走到公園差不多要40分鐘。(陳述事實)
  • It's nearly 40 minutes' walk to the park.
  • 走到公園差不多要40分鐘哩!(太遠了)
  • 5.與no, none, nothing等連用,只能用almost而不能用nearly; 反之,與not, never連用,只能用nearly而不能用almost(但美式英語可說almost never)。例如:
  • There are not nearly enough people here to do the job.干這活兒,這些人手還遠不夠。
  • We almost never traverse tortuous paths.(AmE)我們難得走彎路。
  • 6.在more than, too前用almost,不用nearly。例如:
  • That's almost too much!那簡直太過分了!
  • This is almost more than we feared.這簡直遠遠超過我們所害怕的情況。
  • 7.nearly可加very, pretty等修飾,而almost不可。
  • almost,nearly,about,approximately,around,roughly
  • 這些副詞均有“大約,差不多”之意。
  • almost指在程度上相差很小,差不多。
  • nearly與almost含義基本相同,側重指數量、時間或空間上的接近。
  • about??煞謅lmost和nearly換用,但about用于表示時間、數量的“大約”時,實際數量可能多也可能少。
  • approximately多用于書面語,指精確度接近某個標準以致誤差可忽略不計。
  • around多用于非正式場合,常見于美國英語。
  • roughly指按粗略估計,常代替about。
