程度副詞

On a recent program, I introduced extreme adjectives, words that have the meaning extremely plus adjectives.

在最近的一檔節目中，我介紹了極度形容詞，即有極度加形容詞的意思的詞。

For example, huge means extremely large and excellent means extremely good.

例如，巨大的意思是非常大，優秀的意思是非常好。

Let's talk about two rules to follow with these adjectives.

我們來說說這些形容詞要遵循的兩個規則。

The first is that we avoid putting most of them in comparative or superlative form.

第一，我們避免把大部分的內容以比較或超綱的形式出現。

Huge native speakers do not say this box is more huge than that box.

巨大的母語者不會說這個盒子比那個盒子更巨大。

The adjective excellent is another example.

We do not say that is the most excellent program on television.

我們不說那是電視上最優秀的節目。

But over the years, spoken English has influenced grammar rules, so you might hear some extreme adjectives in comparative or superlative form.

但多年來，英語口語影響了文法規則，所以你可能會聽到一些極端形容詞的比較形式或超綱形式。

Now, on to the second rule, many adverbs express how much of equality something has.

現在，說說第二條規則，很多副詞表達了某物的平等程度。

These include a bit kind of very, fairly, extremely and others, but with extreme adjectives, we often avoid these adverbs.

這些包括a bit kind of very, fairly, extremely等，但對於極端的形容詞，我們往往會避開這些副詞。

It might sound strange to say this her food is fairly delicious, yet we do sometimes use other adverbs with extreme adjectives for stronger emphasis.

如果說這個她的食物相當美味，可能聽起來很奇怪，然而我們有時也會用其他副詞與極端形容詞來加強強調。

Generally, they express the meaning of totality.

一般來說，它們表達的是整體性的意思。

Some examples include totally, completely and absolutely listen to a few examples.

一些例子包括完全、完全和絕對聽幾個例子。

I am totally exhausted the rug looks completely filthy.

我已經完全疲憊不堪了，地毯看起來完全是髒兮兮的。

It's important to note again that there are exceptions to these rules.

需要再次指出的是，這些規則也有例外。

 You can read about them in our longer written program, and that's everyday grammar. 

你可以在我們較長的書面節目中讀到它們，那就是日常文法。
