3. 语法释义。

 等级形容词

大多数形容词是可分等级的，比如：a bit cold, very cold或extremely cold。我们可以用修饰词来弱化或强化它们。

e.g.:

1) She was quite angry when she found out.

2) The film we saw last night was really funny!

3) It can be extremely cold in Russia in the winter.

常见的等级形容词和对应的修饰词：

Modifiers a little/a bit pretty/quite really/very extremely

Adjectives angry, big, boring, cheap, cold, expensive, frightening, funny, hot,

interesting, old, pretty, small, tasty, tired, etc.

 非等级形容词：绝对形容词（absolute adjectives）

一些形容词是非等级的，比如不能用a bit finished或very finished，也不能用a bit dead或very dead。这些形容词描述的是绝对性的，要对其进行强化需使用修饰词如absolutely, totally或completely。

e.g.:

1) Thank you, I love it! It’s absolutely perfect!

2) Their farm was totally destroyed by a tornado.

3) My work is completely finished. Now I can relax.

常见的绝对形容词和对应的修饰词：

Modifiers absolutely / totally / completely

Adjectives acceptable, dead, destroyed, finished, free, impossible, necessary,

perfect, ruined, unacceptable, etc.

非等级形容词：极限形容词（extreme adjectives）

形容词如amazing, awful和boiling也是非等级形容词，其本身定义中已含有“非常”之意。若要强化极限形容词，需使用absolutely或really。

e.g.:

1) Did you see the final match? It was absolutely amazing!

2) After 32 hours of travelling, they were absolutely exhausted.

3) My trip home was really awful. First, traffic was really bad, then the car broke

down and we had to walk home in the rain.

常见极限形容词和对应的修饰词：

Modifiers absolutely / really

Adjectives amazing, ancient, awful, boiling, delicious, enormous, excellent,

exhausted, fascinating, freezing, gorgeous, terrible, terrifying, tiny,

etc.
