adv.|greatly/badly/too/far/powerful;很;相当;完全
“quite”是一个英语副词,在不同语境中具有多重含义,主要用法可归纳为以下三类:
表示“相当”或“程度适中”
当修饰形容词或副词时,通常表示“相当”但未达到极端的程度。例如:
此时“quite”与“fairly”或“rather”近义,但语气更正式。牛津词典指出,这种用法在英式英语中常与“good”“nice”等中性词搭配,强调非极端的肯定评价。
表示“完全”或“彻底”
在修饰绝对性形容词(如“certain”“different”“finished”)时,表示完全达到某种状态。例如:
剑桥词典特别说明,这种用法在英式英语中更常见,而美式英语则倾向用“completely”或“entirely”。
与不定冠词连用的强调功能
在“quite a/an + 名词”结构中,表示对事物规模的强调。例如:
根据《柯林斯英语语法》,此类结构隐含“超出预期”的语义色彩,常出现在口语表达中。
