1. 1. 可用来修饰动词、形容词、副词、名词等:I almost droppedthe plate. 我差点把碟子掉了。Almost all the guests are here. 差不多所有的客人都来了。Dinner is almost ready. 饭差不多做好了。注意:修饰动词时,通常应放在行为动词之前,特殊动词之后 (见上例);修饰形容词、副词、名词等时,通常应将其放在被修饰词语之前,否则会造成错误:他几乎工作了一整天。正:He worked almost all day. 误:He almost worked all day. 我们当中几乎每一个人都读过这本书。正:Almost every one of us read the book.
误:Every one of us almost read the book.
2. 可以与 no, none, nobody, nothing, never可以与等词连用 (注:表示类似含义的 nearly 则一般不这样用):Almost no one believed her. 几乎没有人相信她。
I almost never see her. 我几乎从未见过她。
3. 可用在否定动词之前 (注:nearly 也能这样用):
They almost (nearly) didn’t catch the bus. 他差点没赶上公共汽车。
4. 不要与 most 混淆:大多数人都同意我的意见。正:Most of the people agreed with me. 误:误:Almost of the people agreed with me.
