初中英語語法總復習提綱2

⒆ rather與quite的用法區別：同very一樣,兩個詞都表示形容詞或副詞的程度,quite表示“不到最高程度但是比預料的好”,rather比quite更接近very的含義,含有令人驚訝的意思。見下圖對“nice”程度的描繪：      not nice       (fairly) nice        quite nice          rather nice       very nice                     如：it’s quite a nice film.(這是部好片子)。(可能意味著不是一部最好的電影) / it’s rather a nice film.(這是部很不錯的電影。)(意味著比大多數電影都好)    [注意]注意quite與rather后面的次序詞序。⒇ maybe、possibly、perhaps的區別：maybe“可能、也許”,比另外兩個詞更不正式、更隨便、可能性不大；possibly“可能地、或者、也許”,可能性較大,在否定句和疑問句中表示“無論如何”；perhaps“可能”,較為常用而且正式,可能性也不大。如：you could put it over there,maybe.(也許你可以把它放在那邊) / i couldn’t possibly have finished such a long book in such a short time.(我不可能在這么短的時間內完成這么長的一本書)/ i thought perhaps it was the letter you have been expecting.(我以為那也許就是你期盼的信件)(21) most、mostly的區別：most作為形容詞和名詞時意思是“大多數的、大部分的”,作為副詞時意思為“最,十分、很”；mostly僅為副詞,意思為“主要地、多半地、大部分地”。如：i was at home most of the time when i was free.(我有空時大部分時間都在家)most children are naughty.(大部分的孩子都淘氣)/ this is the most exciting part of the film.(這是電影中最令人興奮的部分)/she is mostly out on sundays.(星期天她一般不在家)(22) (be) worth、(be) worthy of的區別：worth一般被看作是介詞,后面接名詞或者動名詞,用主動表示被動含義,還可以用副詞well修飾；worthy of表示“值得的、配得上的”,后面跟動名詞的被動形式。如：what is worth doing at all is worth doing well(凡是值得做的,就值得好好去做). / the house is worth ￥300,000.(房子價值30萬元)/ this book is well worth reading several times.(這本書值得好好讀幾遍)/ it is a thing worthy of being seen.(這是一個值得看的東西)  (23)almost、nearly的區別：兩個詞意思相近,都表示“幾乎、將近”,大多數情況下可以互換,與否定詞連用時用almost不用nearly. almost no 相當于hardly any(幾乎沒有)。如：he had done almost nothing today.(他今天幾乎沒有干什么) / we are almost/nearly there.(我們幾乎就到那里了)/ almost nobody/hardly anybody understood his words.(幾乎沒有人懂他的話)(24) a bit與a little的區別：這兩個名詞短語經常當作副詞使用,修飾形容詞或副詞的原級或比較級,可以互換,語氣比rather弱。如：this digital camera is a bit(a little) expensive.(這臺數碼相機有點貴)/ it is a little(a bit) colder than yesterday.(今天比昨天冷了點)
