scarcely, barely, hardly

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:

The enemy are so exhausted that they are hardly able to fight any longer.敌人已经疲惫得简直不能再战了。

The field is so thickly grown with rice that there is scarcely sufficient room for one to work in.稻子长得很密,人们简直无法下田劳动了。

I have barely enough money to buy a cup of coffee.我的钱刚好够买一杯咖啡。

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。

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