基本含义与区分
当我们谈到 “hard” 和 “hardly” 时,我们实际上在谈论两个完全不同的意思,因此使用时要非常小心。
“hard” 是形容词,意思是 “困难的” 或 “艰苦的”,作副词时,是”努力“,”猛烈“的意思。
而 “hardly” 是副词,意思是 “几乎不” 或 “几乎没有”。以下是更详细的解释:
“hard” 作为形容词时,通常用于描述工作或任务。例如:
It was a hard day at work.(工作很辛苦。)
The test was really hard.(考试很难。)
“hard” 还可以用来形容人,表示他们很努力或坚韧。例如:
She is a hard worker.(她是一个勤奋的人。)
He has a hard exterior but he’s really a softie at heart.(他外表很强硬,但内心其实很柔软。)
“hard” 作副词时,意思是(人)努力,或(雨雪等)下得大、猛烈。例如:
She is working so hard to pass the exam.(为了通过考试,她非常努力。)
It is raining hard.(雨下得很大。)
“hardly” 作为副词时,通常用于表示某事情的发生非常罕见,或是几乎没有发生。例如:
I hardly ever drink coffee.(我几乎不喝咖啡。)
He hardly spoke during the entire meeting.(他整个会议期间几乎没说话。)
“hardly” 还可以用来表示否定,相当于 “not”。例如:
I hardly think that’s a good idea.(我几乎认为那不是个好主意。)
例句巩固
以下是一些例句,帮助说明这两个词的用法:
I tried really hard to finish the project on time.(我非常努力地想在时间内完成这个项目。)
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since we met.(很难相信自从我们相遇已经一年了。)
She hardly watches TV.(她几乎不看电视。)
We can hardly see the stars because of all the city lights.(由于城市的灯光太多,我们几乎看不到星星。)
总之,”hard” 和 “hardly” 是两个不同的单词,需要根据上下文仔细理解其含义。
