nearly 和 almost 的区别
1）almost 和 nearly
在用法上既有相同之处，也有不同点。在单纯表示'时间、程度、进度'时，almost=nearly。例如：
The building is almost completed.
The
building is nearly completed.
第一句比第二句更接近于完成。
2）在具体数字前面常用nearly。例如：
The river is
nearly 100 metres wide.
这条河有近百米宽。
The old
man is nearly 80 years old.
那位老人年近八十岁。
3）almost 可与no, nothing, none, never等连用，此时不能用
nearly 代替。例如：
Almost no one believed
him.
几乎无人相信他的话。
There's almost none
left.
几乎一个没剩。
What he said was almost
nothing worth listening to.
他所说的话几乎没有价值。
4)almost不可被not修饰，如不说not almost或almost
not。表示“几乎不”，可以用hardly。
He could hardly speak English.
他几乎不会说英语。

n
这三个动词的意思互有重叠，稍一不慎很容易就搞混。assure
意为「向...保证，使确信；使...放心」 ，其主要句型有 “assure +
受词 + of + 名词 (或动名词)” 和 “assure + 受词
+ (that) 子句：”He assured his parents of his ability to pass
the exam.“ (他向他父母保证他有能力通过考试)；”I can assure (that) the
medicine is perfectly safe.“
(我可以向你保证这药物绝对安全)。
n
ensure的意思是使某行为或某件事的结果得以保证，即确保某事发生（to make sure that
sth．happens）。ensure后可以直接跟
that-clause，并可以用复合宾语。常用结构为：ensure sth．／ensure
＋that －clause ／en-sure
＋obj．（i）＋obj．（d）
①To
ensure the childs quick recovery，the doctor gave him an
antibiotic．为使这个孩子尽快恢复，医生给他打了一剂抗生素。
②Registration
ensures delivery of mail．挂号寄邮件保证会送到。
”If you want to ensure that you catch the plane, take a taxi.
(如果你想要确保搭上那般飞机，那麼就要坐计程车)。
n insure
主要意为 「为...投保，为...保险」：“My house is insured
against fire” (我的房子保了火险)。特别要注意的是，这三个字当中，只有 assure
有「使 (人) 放心」(set one‘s mind at rest)
的意思，且经常用在 “to rest assured” 这个惯用语中：“You can rest assured
that we will do all we can.”
(请放心/你可以放心，我们会尽力而为)；“The letter from her
daughter set her mind at rest.”
(她女儿的来信使她放心了)。
n
事情如果是这麼简单就好了。虽然英国和美国都使用 insure
来表示「投保、保险」的意思，但英国还使用 assure 来专指「投保人寿险
」；换言之，assure 只能用於投保人寿险，而 insure 则可用於各种保险，包括人寿险
-- 若以名词型态来表示，「人寿保险」在美国只有 'life insurance' 这个用语，而在英国则有
'life insurance' 和 'life assurance' 两种称呼
(insurance 和 assurance 分别为 insure 和 assure
的名词)；注意：'insurance'
这个字的重音节一般字典都是标示为第二音节，但其实有不少英美人士把重音放在第一音节。再者，在美国，ensure 和
insure 往往可以互换；换言之，在美式英语中，insure 有时亦被用来表示 ensure
的意思。
