    Grammar Point hardly / scarcely / barely / no soonerhardly / scarcely / barely / no sooner
    • Hardly, scarcely and barely can all be used to say that something is only just true or possible. They are used with words like any and anyone, with adjectives and verbs, and are often placed between can, could, have, be, etc. and the main part of the verb:hardly、scarcely 和 barely 均可指剛剛、幾乎不，與 any 和 anyone 等詞以及形容詞和動詞連用，常置於 can、could、have、be 等和動詞主要成分之間：
      • They have sold scarcely any copies of the book.這書他們幾乎沒賣出幾本。

      • I hardly can believe it.
    • Hardly, scarcely and barely are negative words and should not be used with not or other negatives:
      • I can’t hardly believe it.
    • You can also use hardly, scarcely and barely to say that one thing happens immediately after another:亦可用 hardly、scarcely 和 barely 表示剛…就…：
      • We had hardly/​scarcely/​barely sat down at the table, when the doorbell rang.我們剛坐下，門鈴就響了。
      In formal, written English, especially in a literary style, these words can be placed at the beginning of the sentence and then the subject and verb are turned around:在正式的書面語中，尤其在文學體中，上述各詞可置於句首，然後將主語和動詞的位置倒裝：
      • Hardly/​Scarcely had we sat down at the table, when the doorbell rang.我們剛坐下，門鈴就響了。
      Note that you usually use when in these sentences, not than. You can also use before:注意：在這類句子中通常用 when 而非 than，亦可用 before：
      • I scarcely had time to ring the bell before the door opened.我剛一按門鈴，門就開了。
      No sooner can be used in the same way, but is always used with than:no sooner 與上述詞用法相同，但總與 than 連用：
      • No sooner had we sat down at the table than the doorbell rang.我們剛坐下，門鈴就響了。
    • Hardly and scarcely can be used to mean ‘almost never’, but barely is not used in this way:hardly 和 scarcely 可表示幾乎從不、難得，但 barely 不這樣用：
      • She hardly (ever) sees her parents these days.這些日子她難得見到她父母。
      • She barely sees her parents these days.
