nearly almost quite

问题描述:

nearly almost quite
这3个的区别

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.
quite的意思是“相当;完全地”,是一个副词,但它很特殊.它不但能修饰动词、形容词、副词、分词,还能修饰名词、介词短语等.
一、quite修饰形容词、副词等.例如:
She is quite right.她完全正确.
This is quite impossible.这是完全不可能的.
I know how to use the machine quite well.我完全知道怎么使用这台机器.
He worked quite hard.他工作很努力.
二、quite修饰名词.
1.当名词前没有形容词修饰时,quite要放在冠词前.例如:
quite a lot(许多),quite a time(很长一段时间),quite an effort(很大努力),quite a while(一段相当长的时间),quite a few(相当多),quite a little(相当多;大量的)
2.当名词前有形容词修饰时,quite可放在冠词前,也可放在冠词之后,但放在冠词之前较普遍.例如:
He is quite a clever boy.(较普遍)
或He is a quite clever boy.他是一个相当聪明的孩子.
三、quite与not连用,常构成“not quite”结构,表示部分否定,意思是“没有完全……”.例如:
She is not quite well.她没有完全康复.
I don't quite understand the problem.我并没有完全理解这道题.
四、“完全一样”要用exactly the same,不用quite the same.“不完全一样”可说not quite the same.
五、“完全赞同”可说quite agree,但反义一般不说quite disagree.
