almost的用法
1.almost是常用的程度副词,基本意思是“几乎,差不多”,强调差一点,缺一点。引申还可作“实际〔质〕上”“简直”解。
2.almost可用于修饰动词、形容词、副词、名词、代词、数词或介词等,有时还可用来代替全句。almost不能与not连用,但可与no, none, nobody, nothing, never等否定词连用,表示“几乎,差不多”。
3.为了避免意义含混不清或者不合逻辑, almost常常紧接在它所修饰词之前。修饰动词时一般置于主要动词之前,但要放在系动词、助动词和情态动词之后。almost不能置于句末。
4.当描述即将达到目标或者接近于某数据等时,人们更习惯于用almost去表达“接近,但不完全一样”的意思,使得陈述的内容没有那么精确,明确。
