hardly: 指接近最低限度,差不多没有多余,强调困难和程度。
scarcely: 指不太充分,不太够,不足,不能令人满意,强调数量。
barely: 指仅仅够,一点不多,强调没有多余。
这三个短语都可表示“一…就…”。其区别是:
1.
as soon as可转化为no sooner...than或hardly...when结构。例如:
As soon as I heard the knock I opened the door.
No sooner had I heard the knock than I opened the door.
Hardly had I heard the knock when I opened the door.
当我听到敲门声,我马上就开门了。
2.as soon as通常用于一般时态, no hardly...than和hardly...when通常用于
过去完成时。例如:
As soon as you finish your job, let me know.
你一完成工作就告诉我一声。

医生一到马上就抢救病人。

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: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。
Hehardly knew what to say.

scarcely:scarcely强调“不足”,主要指数量而言,常与enough、sufficient、any或
数词连用。

电车上十分拥挤,几乎没有你立足之地。

这组词意思相近,其区别是:
hardly常用来修饰表示能力的词; scarcely强调不足,常与enough, sufficient
等词连用; barely强调“勉强”。例如:

敌人已经疲惫得简直不能再战了。

1.hard可作形容词或副词; 而hardly只能用作副词。
