二、詞義辨析:


about,around,round

這些詞均有“在周圍、在附近”之意。about既可表靜態,也可表動態。around主要用於美國,靜態或動態均可。round主要用於英國,多半指動態。


三、詞義辨析:


almost,nearly,about,approximately,around,roughly

這些副詞均有“大約,差不多”之意。almost指在程度上相差很小,差不多。nearly與almost含義基本相同,側重指數量、時間或空間上的接近。about常可分almost和nearly換用,但about用於表示時間、數量的“大約”時,實際數量可能多也可能少。approximately多用於書面語,指精確度接近某個標準以致誤差可忽略不計。around多用於非正式場合,常見於美國英語。roughly指按精略估計,常代替about。
