nearly 和 almost 的 区别

>> almost, nearly都是副词，意为“几乎，差不多”

>> almost一般不带语气，表示“这事情已经这样了。”
nearly一般带点语气，表示“这事情居然都已经这样了！”

>> 另外almost多表示时间、程度、距离、进度，且almost可以修饰more than, too, nothing, nobody, nowhere, no one, none, never等词，nearly则不行。

>> not nearly 表示“一点也不，决不”，而not almost则是“还没有那么多”。

下面来看题
1) I'm not almost ready.
2) I've almost never seen him.
3) Almost no one believed him.
4) The book cost me almost 60 yuan.
5) I nearly didn't hear what the teacher said in class.
6) This is almost more than we thought.

还有问一道题 同义句转换
I prefer staying at home rather than going out.
I would rather stay at home than go out .

almost与nearly倒是比较容易混淆的。下面我来说一下这两个词之间的区别： 1）almost强调“差一点……就”（=very nearly）,可用于no, none, nothing等前面，但nearly不可。almost不能用not修饰。 2）nearly表示“接近”。常可与almost换用，但在具体数字前常用nearly. not修饰nearly 意为“远非”，“远不及”。 如： He almost knocked me down before he saw me. 他看到我之前差点把我撞倒。 Almo
