she hurried all the way to the railway station with hardly a few seconds to spare.

当然是only
hardly的意思是”几乎不“
i can hardly breathe 我几乎不能呼吸了但是hardly后面也可以接名词啊几乎没有....牛津上面也是有接名词这个用法的she hurried all the way to the railway station with hardly a few seconds to spare.这句话的意思是，他匆忙赶往车站，到达的时候仅剩几秒钟这里表示”仅仅“的含义，和hardly含义不同但是你如果说几乎没有几秒钟的多余时间也是说得过去的吧你把牛津的例句给我看看，我不知道你是怎么思考的Hardly a day goes by without a visit from someone. 现在身边没有牛津 只有有道了 不过这个后面也是名词 您给看下这是一个为了强调副词hardly，而将它放在句首的用法原本的结构式a dayhardly goes by without a visit from someonehardly修饰的是句子，不是a day
