“非常”不同

⊙河北省蠡县中学高三(3)班 陈一博

如果有人告诉你,你至今已经学会了十余种表达“非常,很”的词或词组,你是不是有点吃惊?从小喜欢学英语,习惯在学习中总结已学知识的陈一博同学对这十几种表达进行了归纳。尽管作为一个在校学生,他的归纳还不够全面,我们刊登这篇短文是想告诉大家:只要你用心学,你也可以“非常不同”。

在英语中,表达“非常,十分,很,相当”的词除了常见词very外,还有许多其他单词和短语,它们之间有一定的差别,在平时应用中应多加注意。

very

常见词,放在形容词、副词、限定词前。

如:very good/very quickly/very few people

very much

常跟在动词后面。

如:Thank you very much.(非常感谢。)

too

后跟形容词或副词,含有“过分”的意思。

如:The coat is too big for him.(这件衣服对他来说太大了。)

too much

可用作形容词词组后跟名词;也可用作名词词组或副词词组。如:

◆ A neighbor complained the kids were making too much noise.(有位邻居抱怨孩子们太吵了。)

◆ I can’t thank him too much.=I can’t thank him enough. (我怎么谢他也不为过。——即“我非常感谢他。”)

He gave me too much. (他给我的太多了。)

much too

后跟形容词或副词,意思为“非常……”。

如:much too heavy/much too slowly

a lot

与形容词、副词连用相当于much,常和比较级一起用;与动词连用相当于a great

amount。如:

◆ I’m feeling a lot better today.(我今天感觉好多了。)

◆ Thanks a lot for your help.(非常感谢你的帮助。)

◆ I care a lot about you.(我非常在乎你。)

quite

修饰无比较级形容词,如:quite right/quite wrong/quite perfect/quite sure

修饰动词,如:quite catch/quite know/quite follow/quite understand

修饰形容词,如:quite happy

修饰介词短语,如:quite by accident/quite out of mind

注意:quite不与too及比较级连用,修饰与不定冠词连用的形容词时须放在不定冠词之前。如:◆ He is quite a tall man.(他的个子相当高。)◆ It’s quite an expensive restaurant.(它是

一家很贵的餐馆。)

rather

修饰形容词和副词,常和贬义词连用,还可修饰比较级。修饰与不定冠词连用的形容词时,放在不定冠词前后均可。如:

◆ It is rather cold today.(今天非常冷。)

◆ She is rather better today.(今天她好多了。)

◆ This is a rather moving story.=This is rather a moving story.(这是一个十分感人的故事。)

fairly

语气最轻;不与动词连用,不与比较级连用。

如:It is fairly warm. (今天十分温暖。)

a most +形容词

一般形容词最高级前面要用the,只有most前可用a,a most…表示“十分……”。

如:Dalian is a most beautiful city.(大连是座十分美丽的城市。)

extremely

通常修饰形容词。如:

◆ extremely difficult/extremely important

◆ It is extremely important. (这极为重要。)

badly/terribly

放在动词前后均可,也可以修饰介词短语。如:

◆ I need your help badly as the deadline is around the corner.(因为最后期限快到了,我急需你的帮助。)

◆ Now I terribly need your help.(现在我急需你的帮忙。)

◆ He is badly in need of your praise.(他急需你的表扬。)

pretty

用法和very相同,但语气更强。

如:Things are looking pretty good.(形势看来很不错。)

heavily

可以用来修饰下雨、吸烟、喝酒等的程度。

如:It is raining heavily now. (正在下大雨。)

so

语气比较强。

如:Thank you so much.(十分感谢你。)

固定结构so…that 即“如此(so有“非常”的意思)……以致……”的意思。

如:Online shopping is so convenient that it has made our life more colorful.(网上购物非常方便,它让我们的生活变得更加多姿多彩。)

awful

非正式用语,只用于名词前。

如:I’ve got an awful headache.(我头疼得要命。)

1. He runs very quickly that I can’t follow him.

2. He had an extreme difficult period in his life.

3. With his help, I succeeded in finishing the project. So I can’t thank him very much.

4. I was such nervous that the swimming ring suddenly slipped out of my hand.

5. He gave us too many, so we respect him very much.

6. The building is bad in need of repair.
