Hardly用法与句式搭配

李英会

【原句】 I can hardly believe we’re in the city centre.

我幾乎不能相信我们在市中心。

【解析】句中的“hardly”译为“几乎不，几乎没”，是具有否定义的副词，通常放在实义动词之前，助动词或情态动词之后。如果用于反意问句时，其附加句要用肯定形式（此类否定意义的词还有never，little，few，no，nothing，seldom等）。例如：

1）You can hardly go，can you？

2）He is never late，is he？

1）— I could hear what you said just now. （2015·重庆）

— Could you please say it again？

A. sometimes B. always

C. hardly D. clearly

【答案】C

【易错点】hardly与hard的区别

hardly是副词“几乎不”，不是hard的副词;

hard本身既是形容词，也是副词。例如：

1）It is raining hard. 正在下大雨。（句中hard是副词）

2）English is so hard. 英语比较难学。（句中hard是形容词）

3）I hardly know the answer. 我几乎不知道这个答案。（句中hardly是否定意义的副词）
