Rarely和seldom意思都是“很少”（表频率），seldom更正式、更书面。
People
rarely
ask
questions.
She
was
seldom
seen
in
public.
Barely
也是“很少”的意思，
但否定意味是在“能不能”这个意思上。
She
nodded,
barely
able
to
speak.
Hardly和scarcely意思都是“几乎不”或者“刚刚”（表程度）。例如：you
hardly
had
time
to
do
so-mething
意味着你几乎没时间做某事。相比之下scarcely更正式、更书面。
I
hardly
had
time
to
ask
her
name.
We
had
scarcely
arrived
when
he
asked
us
to
leave.
