The sum of money I have already had is not ___ enough at all for the price of ...The sum of money I have already had is not ________ enough at all for the price of the machine that I want to buy.A．almost B．mostly C．nearly D．near但题目给出的答案是C,nearly....why?

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。

答案：D
解析：near enough 固定词组，意为“差得远”

我现在有的钱的总数 离我想买的机器的价格还远呢.接近了用near enough,反之多个not
答案错了

not near enough （adv.）是一个词组 意思是“差得远”
