10 有关nearly的位置及其意思

各位尊敬的老师晚上好!在高二的一份试卷的阅读理解中看到这段话:

“My name is Name, for noun means name. The name of everything belongs to me, so I am called Mr. Name, or Mr. Noun, and all my words are called nouns.” “The name of everything belongs to you?” asked Judge, in surprise. “Yes,” answered Mr. Noun, “the name of everything belongs to me. Desk, wine, smoke light, a taste, a smell, all these words belong to me, and are called nouns.”

“I see,” said Judge Grammar, “if you have the name of everything, I hope you are satisfied, and do not ask for any more words.” “Actually,” replied Mr. Noun, drawing himself proudly up, “I have not mentioned nearly all my words. I own proper nouns.

想请教下各位老师,上面这段话中加粗的句子是什么意思?在这里nearly几乎吗?但是总觉得这句话意思怪怪的。我没有提到我几乎所有的单词。是这样理解吗?还望老师不吝赐教!

这是一篇小幽默,是为了学习语法而编写的。前面说了他的名字叫Name, 是名词都有name. 一切东西的名字都属于我。然后法官说:I see.  if you have the name of everything, I hope you are satisfied, and do not ask for any more words.既然一切东西的名字都属于你,我希望你应该是满足的,别再要求更多的词了) 然后Noun先生自豪地站起身说:I have not mentioned nearly all my words. I own proper nouns.(我还没把我几乎所有的词说完呢。我还有专有名词。之后就解释专有名词是什么。最后法官说:Mr. Noun, you have claimed enough words. He rose from his seat, and every one left the court. (你已经拿走了不少词了)法官说完起身就走,大家也走了。

 

为了便于理解的透彻些,我简单的翻译了关键几句。否则,信息太多,容易乱。有位网友提到 not nearly字典解释为“绝非”,那个不适合这里,因为当绝非的意思时,这两个词一般不能分开。请记住在英语里,nearly 后如果有all, 或其他和数量有关的词,一般都是修饰这些词。

以下是拙见:proper nouns是专有名词吧。我认为意思是:我没有提到所有的词,我还有专有名词。

not nearly在牛津词典中的解释是“远非,绝不是”,译文是“我根本没有提到我所有的全部单词,我有符合规范的名词”。意思就是我代表了所有单词。

 “I have not mentioned nearly all my words. I own proper nouns.

我还没有提到几乎我所有的词,我还有拥有专有名词。
