Most,almost,mostly 用法比较
这三个词都可以作副词,但意义和用法不同。
一、 most用在形容词或副词前面,等于very,起加强语气的作用。表示“很、十分、非常”
most前面不可有定冠词the。如:
This is a most useful book. 这是一本很有用的书。
It's most dangerous to play with fire. 火是很危险的。
most后不能直接跟有定冠词、指示代词或物主代词所修饰的名词,那么,遇到这些情况用most of代替most。如:
I spent most of my time learning to play the piano last year.去年我把大部分时间都花在学弹钢琴上了。
I did most of that difficult work.那件困难的工作绝大部分都是由我做的。
二、 almost = very nearly。指在程度上相差很少,almost可与no,none,nothing,never,nobody等表示否定意义的词连用。如:
I almost missed the flight. 我差一点误了航班。
Almost no one believed what he said. 几乎没人相信他的话。
三、 mostly=mainly“大部分”“主要地”“通常地”。如:
The students in our class are mostly from the factory. 我们班的学生主要来自这家工厂。
His stories were mostly about his travels in foreign countries.
他的故事大多是关于他在国外旅游的经历。
