【hard 和 hardly 的用法和區別】
雖然 「hard」 和 「hardly」 從拼寫上看只差兩個字母,
但它們的意思和用法卻大相逕庭。
其中,「hard」 作形容詞時的主要意思包括
「堅硬的」、「困難的」 和 「辛苦的」,
作副詞時可以表示 「努力地」;
而「hardly」 只能是副詞,表示 「幾乎不」。
Please listen to the following paragraph.
請聽下面的一段講解。
Hi, I’m going to tell you about the difference between hard and hardly.
Hard, we can use it in lots of different ways, but it usually means strong, difficult or intense.
“Ow – that ball is hard.”
“Calculus is hard.”
“That was really hard work.”
Hardly is an adverb and it can mean ‘almost not’.
“This is too small. I can hardly read it.”
We can use it with 『any’ to talk about quantity.
For example: “There is hardly any water in this cup.”
We can use it with ‘ever’ for frequency.
For example: “I hardly ever play basketball.”
The following three example sentences are used to help you remember.
It’s hard for me to play tennis, because I hardly ever train.
I can hardly walk afterwards, because I’ve been running hard.
I often get hurt because the ball’s hard and there’s hardly any time to get out of the way!
Your writing is so terrible. I cannot hardly read it.你寫的真是糟透了。我幾乎不能讀它。
hardly (幾乎不) 本質上已具備了 'not' 或 'no' 等否定的意思,所以不要再與否定詞 cannot 並用。避免使用雙重否定 。
Your writing is so terrible. I can hardly read it.
