1. 两者都可用来修饰不定代词、形容词、副词、动词、介词短语等,此时两者常可换用。如:
Its almost [nearly] impossible. 那几乎是不可能的。
He is almost [nearly] as tall as her. 他差不多与她一样高。
He almost [nearly] always arrives late. 他差不多总是迟到。
He fell and almost [nearly] broke his leg. 他跌了一跤,险些跌断了腿。
Almost [Nearly] all the students passed the exam. 差不多所有的学生都通过了考试。
修饰动词时,通常应放在行为动词之前,特殊动词之后(见上例);修饰形容词、副词、名词等时,通常应将其放在被修饰词语之前,否则会造成错误。如:
他几乎工作了一整天。
正:He worked almost all day.
误:He almost worked all day.
我们当中几乎每一个人都读过这本书。
正:Almost every one of us read the book.
误:Every one of us almost read the book.
2. almost 可用于 any 以及 no, none, nobody, nothing, never 等否定词之前,但 nearly 一般不这样用。如:
Almost any man can do it. 几乎任何人都会做。
Almost no one came to the party. 几乎没有人来参加晚会。
