  • 词义辨析

  • 这组词意思相近，它们的区别是：

  • 1.hard可作形容词或副词; 而hardly只能用作副词。

  • hardly...when, as soon as, no sooner...than
  • 这三个短语都可表示“一…就…”。它们的区别是：

    No sooner had I heard the knock than I opened the door.
    Hardly had I heard the knock when I opened the door.

  • hardly，scarcely
  • 这一对副词都有“几乎不”、“几乎没有”的否定意味，但涵义重心有细微的差异。

    scarcely强调“不足”，主要指数量而言，常与enough、sufficient、any或数词连用。
