almost与nearly的含义几乎相同,区别在于:和否定词用在一起的通常是almost。例:
- Have you almost finished? 你快做完了吗?
- Is the job nearly finished? 这项工作快做完了吗?
- They have worked up the factory from almost nothing. 他们几乎白手起家逐步建立起那个工厂。
- Water was often not available, and almost never hot water. 常常没有水,而且几乎从来没有热水。
写作练习:
几乎每个人都知道“人人为我,我为人人”,但是实际上几乎没有人能完全做到。
