和最熟悉的VERY說再見吧~對母語人士來說,very這個字在語言表達並不夠精準
First and foremost, get rid of the word VERY 戒斷使用very這個字 (How to diversify your speech)
1. I am wearing a lot of layers today because it's VERY COLD outside.
-> I am wearing a lot of layers today because it's FREEZING outside.
to wear a lot of layers 代表穿了超多件衣服,中文我們可能會形容穿得像雪人、愛斯基摩人一樣吧哈哈哈~
2. say goodbye to VERY GOOD
->(1) splendid (2) great (3) terrific (4) lit (spoken form, colloquial) (5) excellent (6) brilliant (7) wonderful
3. farewell to VERY CUTE
->(1) adorable (2) admirable(注意發音喔!跟admire唸法可是不一樣的喔!)(3) lovely (4)
4.母語人士會說very的狀況:後面遇到v,w 開頭的字
eg. very wide, very weak, very warm,
5. VERY COLD
-> (1) freezing (2) chilly (3) frosty
6. VERY TIRED
-> (1) exhausted (2) sleepy (3) distressed
7. VERY CLEAN
-> (1) spotless
/
8. Replace very with other words
->(1) EXTREMELY beautiful
(2) HIGHLY competitive
(3) AWFULLY cold
(4) SUPER friendly, SUPER cute
(5) TERRIBLY nice, TERRIVBLY hot
褒貶都可搭,有點像是中文的「慘了」雙面用法,我愛慘了、他考試考慘了
(6) UNUSUALLY smart, UNUSUALLY beautiful
