七、词义辨析
adv.(副词)- nearly, almost
- 这两个词的共同意思是“几乎,差不多”。下列情况下常可互换：
- 1.在一般肯定结构中。例如：
- There are almost〔nearly〕 enough people here to do the job.做这项工作,这些人手差不多够了。
- 2.在表达时间时。例如：
- Well, it happened almost〔nearly〕 ten years ago.这差不多是十年以前的事了。
- 3.在all, always, every等词前。例如：
- Almost〔nearly〕 every student spoke.几乎每个学生都发了言。
- He almost〔nearly〕 arrived late.他几乎总是迟到。
- 其区别是：
- 1.从含义上说, almost强调“十分接近”,而nearly强调“尚有不足”,所以在表示“想要做而没做成”“很可能发生但还未发生”时,要用nearly; 而表示“简直”“像”等意思时,要用almost。例如：
- I nearly committed a great error.我几乎犯了大错。
- Please wait a minute.I'm almost out of breath.请等一下,我简直喘不过气来了。
- It was almost like a dream.这简直就像一场梦。
- 试比较以下两句：
- I nearly fell off my bike.
- 我差一点没从自行车上掉下来。
- I almost fell off my bike.
- 我几乎从自行车上掉下来。
- 另外,修饰表示思想感情的动词时,只能用almost。例如：
- He almost dreaded a visit to the doctor.他几乎害怕去看病。
- She almost wanted to leave here.她几乎想离开这里。
- 2.从程度上说, almost比nearly更接近。例如：
- We're nearly there.
- 我们快到了。
- We're almost there.
- 我们马上就要到了。
- I'm nearly as clever as you.
- 我快赶上你那么聪明了。
- I'm almost as clever as you.
- 我差不多和你一样聪明了。
- It is nearly time for class.
- 快到上课的时间了。
- (如8点上课,现在是7：50)
- It is almost time for class.
- 差不多是上课的时间了。
- (如8点上课,现在是7：58)
- 3.从使用场合上说,在有趋势向某个目标发展的情况下,两者可互换。而在没有这种趋势或根本不可能达到的场合下,则只能用nearly而不能用almost。例如：
- 我们这只猫什么都懂,快赶上人了。
- ［误］ Our cat understands everything— she's almost human.
- ［正］ Our cat understands everything— she's nearly human.
- 我姑姑说话简直像个外国人。
- ［误］ My aunt almost sounds foreign.
- ［正］ My aunt nearly sounds foreign.
- 4.从语气上说, almost只是一般陈述; 而nearly则具有较明显的惊讶、抱怨等感情色彩。试比较以下两个句子：
- 差不多花了我一百元钱。
- It cost me almost a hundred yuan .
- (说说而已)
- It cost me nearly a hundred yuan .
- (太贵了)
- It's almost 40 minutes' walk to the park.
- 走到公园差不多要40分钟。(陈述事实)
- It's nearly 40 minutes' walk to the park.
- 走到公园差不多要40分钟哩!(太远了)
- 5.与no, none, nothing等连用,只能用almost而不能用nearly; 反之,与not, never连用,只能用nearly而不能用almost(但美式英语可说almost never)。例如：
- There are not nearly enough people here to do the job.干这活儿,这些人手还远不够。
- We almost never traverse tortuous paths.(AmE)我们难得走弯路。
- 6.在more than, too前用almost,不用nearly。例如：
- That's almost too much!那简直太过分了!
- This is almost more than we feared.这简直远远超过我们所害怕的情况。
- 7.nearly可加very, pretty等修饰,而almost不可。
- almost，nearly，about，approximately，around，roughly
- 这些副词均有“大约，差不多”之意。
- almost指在程度上相差很小，差不多。
- nearly与almost含义基本相同，侧重指数量、时间或空间上的接近。
- about常可分almost和nearly换用，但about用于表示时间、数量的“大约”时，实际数量可能多也可能少。
- approximately多用于书面语，指精确度接近某个标准以致误差可忽略不计。
- around多用于非正式场合，常见于美国英语。
- roughly指按粗略估计，常代替about。
