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、根本的含義就是.通過(guò)實(shí)用的方式。. 其作為.從實(shí)際出發(fā)地.這一意思的用法也是完全可接受的。因此，如果某人的債務(wù)超出了他或她的財(cái)產(chǎn)價(jià)值的話，即使還沒有在法律上宣告他或她破產(chǎn)，就可以說(shuō)是實(shí)際上已破產(chǎn)了 。 然而將這一意思稍作延伸，practically 就經(jīng)常用來(lái)表示.幾乎.或.差不多.的意思：
例句：
He had practically finished his meal when I arrived.
我到達(dá)時(shí)，他已差不多吃完飯了。
