【原句】 I can hardly believe we’re in the city centre.

我?guī)缀醪荒芟嘈盼覀冊谑兄行摹?/p>

【解析】句中的“hardly”譯為“幾乎不，幾乎沒”，是具有否定義的副詞，通常放在實義動詞之前，助動詞或情態(tài)動詞之后。如果用于反意問句時，其附加句要用肯定形式（此類否定意義的詞還有never，little，few，no，nothing，seldom等）。例如：

1）You can hardly go，can you？

2）He is never late，is he？

1）— I could hear what you said just now. （2015·重慶）

— Could you please say it again？

A. sometimes B. always

C. hardly D. clearly

【答案】C

【易錯點】hardly與hard的區(qū)別

hardly是副詞“幾乎不”，不是hard的副詞;

hard本身既是形容詞，也是副詞。例如：

1）It is raining hard. 正在下大雨。（句中hard是副詞）

2）English is so hard. 英語比較難學。（句中hard是形容詞）

3）I hardly know the answer. 我?guī)缀醪恢肋@個答案。（句中hardly是否定意義的副詞）
