含蓄否定句
 
英语中有时可用never, seldom, rarely, hardly ever, scarcely ever (指次数极少) 以及barely, hardly, scarcely (=not just几乎不) 等副词组成否定句和近似否定句，含有这类词或词组的句子就叫“含蓄否定句”。如：
We never see them nowadays. 如今我们全看不到他们了。
We hardly (ever) / scarcely (ever) / rarely see them nowadays. 如今我们难得见到他们了。http://yingyu.chazidian.com

Nowadays, we drive down to the coast only rarely. 如今，我们可难得开车去海边。

She had a lot of friends and was usually asked out in the evenings, so she seldom spent an evening at home.  她有很多朋友，晚上常被邀请外出，因此她晚上很少在家里呆着。
注意，由于hardly, barely和scarcely等本身是否定词，所以不可与not或never 连用。
