词语用法

词义讲解

adv.(副词)

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。

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。

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。

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。
