一...and would have been quite creepy enough without the pickled animals floating in glass jars all around the walls.
quite:adv. 相当,完全,十分,很,不太
【词语用法】
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。
“How was the film?”
“Fairly good. Not the best one I’ve seen this year.”
quite一般修饰动词和名词,表示的程度要比fairly深一点。
“How was the film?”
“Quite good. You ought to go.”
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”。
“How was the film?”
“Rather good. I was surprised.”
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’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。
