Mostly与almost的区别
mostly 的意思是: adv 1)主要地; 多半地 如: The earth here is mostly clay. 这儿的土大部分是黏土. Most of the Americans use their cars mostly for their job. 大多数美国人的汽车主要是用来上班的. 2)通常 如:The audience consisted mostly of women. 观众主要是妇女. Our weather has been mostly warm. 我们这里的天气多半是暖和的. 关于almost的短语有: almost never 几乎从来不 almost nothing 几乎没有 was never hanged (=A-never killed a fly). [谚]“险些”犯罪不等于犯罪.
almost的意思是: adv. 几乎; 将近; 差不多; 差一点儿就...; 快要; 大概(致) 如:We saw almost all of them. 我们差不多见到了他们的全体. I almost fell. 我差一点儿就跌倒了. The rooms are almost clean. 各房间大致清洁. 另外,它还可以做形容词用: 意思为:近似的
由上可见,一般almost于mostly还是容易区别的,但是almost与nearly倒是比较容易混淆的.下面我来说一下这两个词之间的区别: 1)almost强调“差一点……就”(=very nearly),可用于no, none, nothing等前面,但nearly不可.almost不能用not修饰. 2)nearly表示“接近”.常可与almost换用,但在具体数字前常用nearly. not修饰nearly 意为“远非”,“远不及”. 如: He almost knocked me down before he saw me. 他看到我之前差点把我撞倒. Almost no one(=Hardly anyone)believes her.几乎没有人相信她. He said almost nothing worth listening to. 他说几乎没什么值得听的东西. They are nearly at the end of their journey. 他们快结束旅行了
