海南单招-副词的一些要点

海南奥赛备考指南：

1．副词的位置

频度副词一般在动词“be”与助动词之后，行为动词之前.

eg. David is usually late.

He seldom comes early.

You can never imagine how embarrassed I was at that time!

修饰动词的副词经常在动词之后，有时也可放在句首。

eg. Though I did the exercise very carefully, I failed again.

Suddenly, a tall man appeared from behind the curtain.

表地点和时间的副词可放在句尾或句首。

2．与形容词同形的副词，以及词尾以ly结尾的副词

A)有些有ly结尾的副词经常可以有抽象的意义，而与形容词同形的副词表示的是比较具体的意义。如high/highly; deep/deeply; wide/widely

eg. He can jump very high.

The principal speaks highly of your work.

B)有些词的意思完全不同如hard/hardly; near/nearly; late/lately; most/mostly，需要加以注意。

3．一些常用副词的用法 

A) very, much, very much与well的用法

very一般修饰形容词、副词和现在分词，如：very good/hard/interesting

much一般修饰比较级和过去分词，如：much faster/ respected

very much一般修饰动词，如：I love it very much.

well一般修饰worth doing与介词短语，如：well worth reading/above the trees

B) fairly与rather

fairly与rather都有“相当”的意思，但一般fairly修饰带有褒义的形容词或副词，含有“正合适”，“恰当”等的意义；而rather含有“过分”的意义，所以修饰带有贬义的形容词和副词更多，如：fairly warm, rather hot; fairly cool, rather cold; fairly easy, rather difficult等。

C) nearly与almost

nearly与almost都可以解释为“几乎”，一般情况下，两个词经常可以互换，有人认为用almost时，感觉上比nearly更接近一些。

eg. The work was almost/nearly completed.

Almost/Nearly all the Japanese eat rice.

在any及一些否定词no, none, never, nothing, nobody的前面，必须使用almost。

eg. Almost no one believed what he said.

固定词组not nearly的意思是“远远不（够）。”

eg. There are not nearly enough people here to do the job.

I have 20 dollars, but that isn’t nearly enough for my journey fare.
