用法讲解
- quite可用作加强语气的强势词,意思相当于汉语的“完全,十分”,常与没有比较级的形容词(如correct, unique等)以及表示极度的形容词或副词(如amazing, unbelievable, brilliantly等)连用。
- quite还可用作减弱语气的词,常与有比较级的形容词、副词连用,以改变这些词的强弱程度,意思是“不完全”,相当于汉语里的“还算,或多或少,差不多”。
- not quite意为“不完全地”,用来表示很小的差异,一般与没有比较级的形容词(如full, perfect等)连用。
- quite用来修饰作定语的形容词时,一般置于冠词之前,有时也可放在不定冠词a的后面,但只有当名词前有形容词时才能这样用; 严格地说, quite a用于修饰全句, a quite用于修饰单词。
- quite还可用作答语,意思是“同意,不错”“对的”,尤其用在英式英语中,此时quite相当于叹词。
- quite还可以修饰动词、分词及介词短语等。
-
fairly,quite,rather以及pretty的比较:四个词均属于程度副词。Fairly一般修饰形容词与副词,表示很一般的程度。 quite一般修饰动词和名词,表示的程度要比fairly深一点。 rather一般修饰动词(尤其时感观动词)和名词,表示的程度比quite要更强烈一点,意为“比预期的还要多一些”。 pretty是非正式用语,修饰形容词与副词,表示的程度与rather相当。
“How was the film?”
“Fairly good. Not the best one I’ve seen this year.”“How was the film?”
“Quite good. You ought to go.”“How was the film?”
“Rather good. I was surprised.”“How’s things?”
“Pretty good. You OK?” - 可以有“quite right”与“all right”的表达方式。“quite right”指的是all right,而“all right”指的是quite right。偶有人会用“quite all right”,但表示的是all quite wrong。不过因该说法不合理,应尽量避免。
- quite, fairly, pretty
-
- 这组词的共同意思是“相当”。其区别是:

- I can see fairly well from here.我从这儿还看得清楚。
- He is a fairly good player.他是个还算不错的运动员。
- quite所表示的程度比fairly稍重,可理解为“十分,相当”。例如:
- The film is quite nice.这部影片相当不错。
- pretty是这组词中程度最强的一个,可理解为“很,相当”,常用于口语。例如:
- Her sister is still pretty sick.她的姐姐仍然病得很重。
