prac.ti.cal.ly
adv.(副词)In a way that is practical.实用地,实际地:通过实用的方式For all practical purposes; virtually.实质地:从实际出发地;实际上,事实上All but; nearly; almost.几乎,差不多
Practically is used unexceptionally in its primary sense of .in a way that is practical.. Its use in the sense .for all practical purposes. is perfectly acceptable.Thus, a person whose liabilities exceed his or her assets may be said to bepractically bankrupt, even though that person has not been legally declared insolvent. By a slight extension of this meaning, however,practically is often used to mean .all but. or .nearly.: Practically 最平常、根本的含义就是.通过实用的方式。. 其作为.从实际出发地.这一意思的用法也是完全可接受的。因此,如果某人的债务超出了他或她的财产价值的话,即使还没有在法律上宣告他或她破产,就可以说是实际上已破产了 。 然而将这一意思稍作延伸,practically 就经常用来表示.几乎.或.差不多.的意思: 例句:He had practically finished his meal when I arrived. 我到达时,他已差不多吃完饭了。
This use ofpractically, sometimes considered informal,is widely encountered in reputable writing.practically 的这一用法, 有时被认为是非正式的,但在许多名著中我们却经常看到这一用法
