一、詳細(xì)釋義:


adv.

不完全地;幾乎;很接近

二、詞義辨析:


almost,nearly,about,approximately,around,roughly

這些副詞均有“大約,差不多”之意。 almost指在程度上相差很小,差不多。 nearly與almost含義基本相同,側(cè)重指數(shù)量、時間或空間上的接近。 about??煞謅lmost和nearly換用,但about用于表示時間、數(shù)量的“大約”時,實際數(shù)量可能多也可能少。 approximately多用于書面語,指精確度接近某個標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以致誤差可忽略不計。 around多用于非正式場合,常見于美國英語。 roughly指按精略估計,常代替about。
