关于
一是它修饰动词时,通常应放在行为动词之前,特殊动词(助动词、情态动词)之后:
He was almost dancing for
joy.
The pain has
almost disappeared.
The inscription on the ring had almost worn
away.
二是它修饰形容词、副词、名词等时,通常应将其放在被修饰词语之前,否则会造成错误。如:
1.
正:He worked almost all day.
误:He almost worked all day.
2.
正:Almost every one of us read the book.
误:Every one of us almost read the book.
分析:
误句He almost worked all day.的意思是“几乎工作”,其实就是指没有工作(句意有点“怪”,而且与所提供的汉语明显不符)。
误句Every one of us almost read the
book.
比较:
He stumbled and almost
fell.
I almost forgot about the
party.
Denis almost gasped aloud in
astonishment.
almost的位置难点
在加州,几乎所有的人都戴墨镜。
正:In California, almost everyone wears sunglasses.
误:In California, everyone almost wears sunglasses.
这两句的用词完全一样,只是almost的位置不同,请问为什么almost放在后面就错了?
▲almost
在“正”句In California, almost everyone wears
sunglasses.中,almost
但In California, everyone almost wears
sunglasses是什么意思呢?almost
▲更多例句:
He almost
fell.
He almost got
killed in that accident.
At the last minute she almost lost her
nerve.
▲比较下面的例句:
Almost everyone
fell.
Almost everyone
got killed in that accident.
At the last minute almost
everyone
