"barely"是英語中表示臨界狀态的副詞，其核心含義包含以下三個維度：
極小量程度
表示事物接近最低限度存在，常譯為"幾乎不"。例如："The injured hiker could barely speak after 12 hours without water（受傷的徒步者在缺水12小時後幾乎無法說話）"。這種用法強調動作或狀态的困難性，常與感官動詞或運動動詞搭配。
時間臨界性
描述事件發生的時間緊迫性，譯為"剛剛"。例證："The ambulance arrived barely two minutes before the patient lost consciousness（救護車在患者失去意識前兩分鐘剛剛抵達）"。這種時态應用常見于醫療急救、事故報告等專業場景。
空間/數量限制
在工程數學中表示精确的臨界值，例如："The steel cable can barely withstand 1.5 tons at 80°C（鋼纜在80攝氏度下承重極限為1.5噸）"。此類專業用法常見于材料科學報告和安全規範文檔。
該詞的否定屬性需要特别注意：作為隱性否定詞，不能與"not"等否定詞連用。比較錯誤案例："He couldn't barely move"（雙否定錯誤）。正确用法應為："He could barely move"。這種語法特性在學術寫作指導手冊中有專門強調。
根據權威詞典和考試資源，副詞barely 的核心含義是“幾乎不；勉強；僅僅”，具體用法和語境如下：
幾乎不/幾乎沒有（強調接近最低限度或剛好不足）
僅僅/剛好（表示剛好達到某個程度或數量）
公開地/不加掩飾地（較少用，常見于文學語境）
| 詞彙 | 側重角度 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| barely | 剛好足夠，無多餘（數量） | He barely passed.（勉強及格。） |
| hardly | 困難或程度不足 | I can hardly walk.（幾乎走不動。） |
| scarcely | 數量或時間不足 | Scarcely a week goes by...（幾乎沒有一周...） |
