almost 和mostly 有何区别?
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.
