hardly 在下面两个句子中的位置不同:一个放在动词之前,一个放在动词之后,请问它们有何区别?
He hardly ate anything.
He ate hardly anything.
下面两句基本同义,但 hardly 的修饰关系稍有不同:第一句的 hardly 修饰动词ate,第二句的 hardly 修饰不定代词 anything:
He hardly ate anything.(否定谓语)
He ate hardly anything.(否定宾语)
比较下面的句子:
He hardly ate anything.(hardly 修饰 ate;否定谓语)
He didn’t eat anthing.(didn’t 修饰 eat,否定谓语)
He ate nothing.(否定宾语)
