'Next to nothing' = bên cạnh không có gì tức là gần như không có gì cả, hoặc có nhưng số lượng rất nhỏ :)

Ví dụ
The bank’s stock, which was worth next to nothing until Wednesday, has now risen nearly 50% in two days. It was up 10.6% on Friday morning, while the Italian benchmark (tiêu chí đánh giá chuẩn) FTSE MIB index was down 0.1%.

Their current techniques (kĩ thuật; công nghệ) in the transfer market are not new. Juventus have managed to acquire (giành được) world-class players for next to nothing, whilst breaking transfer records, for the past 30 years.

Commenting on the Fed's drive to support the economy after the 2008 financial crisis (khủng hoảng) with low rates and massive bond (trái phiếu) purchases, Shelton said in a 2016 Wall Street Journal interview that "ultralow interest rates (lãi suất)" have "flooded wealthy investors and corporate borrowers with cheap money, while savers with ordinary bank accounts have been obliged (bắt buộc) to accept next-to-nothing returns."
