English Grammar -Adverbs of Degree 程度副詞

 ◇ Adverbs of Degree
程度副詞


  Adverbs of degree can modify adjectives, adverbs, and verbs and tell us the extent to which something happens. Take this sentence as an example, "we should totally go on a girls’ trip." In this sentence, "totally" shows the speaker's strong desire to go on a trip with her friends. While in "Two-day delivery, it's pretty good," "pretty" modifies the adjective "good," suggesting that the speaker thinks two-day delivery is quite good.


  程度副詞的存在是為了表示動詞、形容詞或副詞本身的強弱。程度副詞範例," we should totally go on a girls’ trip" 中的 totally 傳達了講者「絕對」要和姐妹去旅行的強烈慾望;而 "Two-day delivery, it's pretty good." 中的 pretty 加強了形容詞 good,代表講者認為所形容的事物比好還要更好一些。


Example:


1. We are completely in love with Justin Bieber's new song.

  我們徹底愛上了小賈斯汀的新歌。


2. He missed his girlfriend very much while he was studying abroad.

  他出國念書時非常地想念他的女友。


3. I always think that I am not good enough for this job.

  我總認為我在這份工作上做得還不夠好。
