重点讲解
一.Hardly：adv.几乎不, 简直不, 刚刚
【词义辨析】
hardly, scarcely
这一对副词都有“几乎不”、“几乎没有”的否定意味，但涵义重心有细微的差异。
hardly强调“困难”，指程度而言，常用以修饰表示能力的词，与can、ever、any等词连用。
He hardly knew what to say.
他简直不知道说什么才好。
I can hardly believe that some socialites and dignitaries are involved in syndicated crime.
我简直不能相信，一些社会名流，达官政要竟然涉及集团罪行。
scarcely强调“不足”，主要指数量而言，常与enough、sufficient、any或数词连用。
When he played the piano he was scarcely four years old.
他懂得弹钢琴还不满四岁。
The tram was so crowded that there was scarcely sufficient room for you.
电车上十分拥挤，几乎没有你立足之地。
At midnight，scarcely any taxi could be found in the streets.
午夜时分，街上几乎看不到一辆的士。
【例句用法】
Hardly anybody came.
几乎没有人来。
Hardly had the game begun when it started raining.
比赛刚刚开始就下起雨来。
You can hardly blame me if you don't like the place, as you were the one who begged me to take you there.
如果你不喜欢那地方，你绝不该怪我，因为是你求我把你带到那去的。
I can hardly wait to hear the news.
我迫不及待地想听到这个消息。
二.suppose：vt.假设, 假定, 认为, 想, 应该, 让(虚拟语气) vi.推测
【语法用法】
suppose后可加that引导的从句，且句中that可省略。
I suppose (that) he is about forty.
我猜他大概四十岁。
suppose和supposing在句子中常表示一样的意思。
Suppose he is absent, what shall we do?
Supposing he is absent, what shall we do?
假设他缺席了，我们要怎么办？
但suppose在句子开头属于祈使语气，而supposing是现在分词，且美国人比较少用supposing；
suppose有时指“建议”。
Suppose you come to my house tomorrow morning, and I will show you all my books.
我建议你明天早晨来我加，我会把我所有的书都展示给你看。
【词义辨析】
assume, presume, suppose, guess, postulate
这些动词均含为“假设，猜想，推测”之意。
assume指有很少或完全无根据的武断推测或不合逻辑的推理。
presume侧重以过去经验或根据现实的某些感觉把某事认定为是事实。
suppose常用词，意义较广泛，指缺乏确切事实，根据一些现象进行的推测，也可指为论证而提出合乎逻辑推理的某种假定，有时仅表示自己的意见。
guess常用词，指毫无根据仅凭个人主观臆断或碰运气的猜测。
postulate指为证实一个理论的正确性而进行的假设。
【例句用法】
They were supposed to be here an hour ago.
他们应该在一小时以前到达这里。
I suppose you want to borrow money from me again?
我猜你又要找我借钱了吧?

有了创造者，才能有创造。
