almost与nearly是比较容易混淆的.
1）almost强调“差一点……就”（=very nearly）,可用于no,none,nothing等前面,但nearly不可.almost不能用not修饰.
2）nearly表示“接近”.常可与almost换用,但在具体数字前常用nearly.not修饰nearly 意为“远非”,“远不及”.
如：He almost knocked me down before he saw me.他看到我之前差点把我撞倒.
Almost no one(=Hardly anyone)believes her.几乎没有人相信她.
He said almost nothing worth listening to.他说几乎没什么值得听的东西.
They are nearly at the end of their journey.他们快结束旅行了.
