荫 hardly
原句再现·How often does he watch TV? He hardly ever
watches TV.
词义精解·hardly是表示否定意义的副词,意为“几乎
不;几乎没有”,相当于 almost not,不能与否定词连用。
如:
I can hardly believe it.我几乎不能相信这件事。
The sunlight is so bright. We can hardly open our eyes.
阳光太强了,我们几乎不能睁开眼睛。
hardly常与 ever连用,表示“很少”,相当于 almost
never。如:
We hardly ever go out to eat. We like to eat at home. 我
们很少出去吃,我们喜欢在家吃。
People hardly ever write letters anymore. They write
e-mails.人们现在几乎不再写信,而是写电子邮件了。
注意:hardly不是 hard的副词形式。hard作形容词
时,意为“硬的;困难的;努力的;刻苦的”,hard也可以
作副词,意为“困难地;辛苦地”。二者语义截然不同,请
注意不要混淆。如:
He works hard.他努力工作。
He hardly works.他几乎不工作。

荫 health
原句再现·But my mother wants me to drink it. She says
it’s good for my health.
词义精解·health作名词,表示“健康;身体状况”,是一
个表示抽象概念的不可数名词。如:
Linda worries about her mother’s health. 琳达担心她妈
妈的健康。
与 health连用的常用短语和句型有:
1. be good/bad for your health,意为“对你的健康有利 /
有害”。如:
Eating vegetables is good for your health.吃蔬菜对你
的健康有好处。
2. be in good/poor health,意为“身体健康 /不健康”。如:

注意:当要表示“我身体健康”时,不能说:My body

health 的形容词形式为 healthy,即 health +
