Hi! It's great to be back here with you! You'll notice that this week we've got no single continuing theme - just five different WordMasters we hope you'll find interesting and fun.
Here's your Tuesday edition! |
Hardly means "almost not at all".
(Be careful: As hardly has a negative meaning, do NOT use it together with a negative word. For example, we say, "I hardly know you," NOT "I don't hardly know you.")
hardly は、ほとんど~ない、という意味です。
注意: hardly は、言葉自体に否定の意味が含まれているので、他の否定語と一緒には使いません。I hardly know you.(あなたのことはほとんど知りません)とは言いますが、I don't hardly know you. とは言いません。 1. | I was so tired I could hardly walk. | | | | 2. | I hardly ever see my friends from college since I started working. | | | | 3. | There's hardly any money left in our savings. Just a couple hundred dollars. | | | | 4. | (on the phone with a bad connection) | | You're going to have to speak up; I can hardly hear you. | | | | 5. | a: | Will you marry me? | | b: | Marry you? But I hardly know you! |
| Take care!
