Ⅰ. Quite 是程度副词,可修饰副词、形容词和动词。跟表程度的词连用时,有“相当”“非常”的意思;跟没有程度差别的词连用时,作“完全”讲。如: ① I feel quite well. 我觉得身体不很不错。 ② I am quite tired. 我相当 累了。 ③ We are not quite ready. 我们还没有完全准备好。 Ⅱ. Very 也是程度副词。“很;非常”可用来修饰形容词或副词。 如: ① This factory is very large. ② He runs very fast. :very 不能直接修饰动词。如: ① I quite like her. = I like her very much Ⅲ. Quite 与 very 有时可以通用。但在份量上very 比quite 重。试比较: ① His English is quite good.(= not bad)他的英语很不错。 ② His English is very good. (= excellent)他的英语好极了。 Ⅳ. Quite & very 与不定冠词连用时位置不同。即依照:“a(n)+very+形容词+中心名词”和“quite + a(n) + 形容词 +中心词”的顺序排列。 如: ① Jimes was quite a small baby. Jimes是个小孩子。 ② Jimes was a very small baby. Jimes 是个很小的孩子。 Ⅴ. Too “太、过分”含有超过容许的程度。带有否定的意味。 |
