用法辨析
- quite可用作加強(qiáng)語氣的強(qiáng)勢詞,意思相當(dāng)于漢語的“完全,十分”,常與沒有比較級的形容詞(如correct, unique等)以及表示極度的形容詞或副詞(如amazing, unbelievable, brilliantly等)連用。
- quite還可用作減弱語氣的詞,常與有比較級的形容詞、副詞連用,以改變這些詞的強(qiáng)弱程度,意思是“不完全”,相當(dāng)于漢語里的“還算,或多或少,差不多”。
- not quite意為“不完全地”,用來表示很小的差異,一般與沒有比較級的形容詞(如full, perfect等)連用。
- quite用來修飾作定語的形容詞時(shí),一般置于冠詞之前,有時(shí)也可放在不定冠詞a的后面,但只有當(dāng)名詞前有形容詞時(shí)才能這樣用; 嚴(yán)格地說, quite a用于修飾全句, a quite用于修飾單詞。
- quite還可用作答語,意思是“同意,不錯(cuò)”“對的”,尤其用在英式英語中,此時(shí)quite相當(dāng)于嘆詞。
- quite還可以修飾動(dòng)詞、分詞及介詞短語等。
- fairly，quite，rather以及pretty的比較：四個(gè)詞均屬于程度副詞。Fairly一般修飾形容詞與副詞，表示很一般的程度。 quite一般修飾動(dòng)詞和名詞，表示的程度要比fairly深一點(diǎn)。 rather一般修飾動(dòng)詞（尤其時(shí)感觀動(dòng)詞）和名詞，表示的程度比quite要更強(qiáng)烈一點(diǎn)，意為“比預(yù)期的還要多一些”。 pretty是非正式用語，修飾形容詞與副詞，表示的程度與rather相當(dāng)?！癏ow was the film?” “Fairly good. Not the best one I’ve seen this year.”“How was the film？” “Quite good. You ought to go.”“How was the film?” “Rather good. I was surprised.”“How’s things?” “Pretty good. You OK?”
- 可以有“quite right”與“all right”的表達(dá)方式?！?em>quite right”指的是all right，而“all right”指的是quite right。偶有人會(huì)用“quite all right”，但表示的是all quite wrong。不過因該說法不合理，應(yīng)盡量避免。
adv. (副詞)
