用法讲解

adv. (副词)
  1. scarcely在句中一般放在行为动词之前,助动词、情态动词或系动词之后。
  2. scarcely在正式文体或文学语言中,常可放在句首,句子采用倒装语序。
  3. scarcely之后可接any, ever, at all等,表示“几乎不”“几乎从不”“几乎没有”; 也可接when表示“刚刚…就…”,这时主句用过去完成式, when引导的从句用一般过去式。
  4. scarcely也可用来修饰名词或代词。
adv. (副词)
scarcely, barely, hardly
  • 这组词意思相近，其区别是：
  • hardly常用来修饰表示能力的词; scarcely强调不足,常与enough, sufficient等词连用; barely强调“勉强”。例如:
  • The enemy are so exhausted that they are hardly able to fight any longer.敌人已经疲惫得简直不能再战了。
  • The field is so thickly grown with rice that there is scarcely sufficient room for one to work in.稻子长得很密,人们简直无法下田劳动了。
  • I have barely enough money to buy a cup of coffee.我的钱刚好够买一杯咖啡。
    • hardly，scarcely
  • 这一对副词都有“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。
  • scarcely强调“不足”，主要指数量而言，常与enough、sufficient、any或数词连用。
