見到美食。不少朋友們想到的英文是“delicious”,想要表達太好吃了,就脫口而出“very delicious”然而這是錯誤的表達,delicious 在英文當中,屬于程度很深的單詞,表示非常美味,非常好吃,這類形容詞本身就帶“very”的效果,不使用“very”來表達程度。如果一定要加強語氣,可以加“absolutely”.
It’s delicious. 太美味了!
It’s absolutely delicious. 真是太美味了!
類似的形容詞還有很多,例如:
enormous/huge
= very big
tiny = very small
atrocious=very bad
destitute=very poor
perilous= very risky
exhausted= very tired
ravenous=very hungry
spotless=very clean
brilliant = very clever
awful; terrible;
disgusting; dreadful
= very bad
certain = very sure
excellent; perfect; ideal;
wonderful; splendid
= very good
還有一些形容詞
雖然不是程度最深
卻也不常和very連用
趕緊拿出筆記本記下來吧
