雅师说 | 不要再用very啦!

作者: 2022-01-20 11:33 来源:济南编辑

很多同学喜欢用very这个词来表示“非常,很”,如very good, very cold等。但是反复用very一方面会显得自己词汇量薄弱,另一方面在表达上也不够精 准,因为这个very其实并不能让听者或者读者知道程度到底有多深。



那不能用very 的话我们能用什么呢?今天我们就来学习一些可以用来替代 “very+adj.”的词汇,让我们的表达更加具体和生动。




very tired

(1)我们可以用exhausted来表示 “筋疲力尽的”。例如:

Looking after a baby on my own left me feeling totally exhausted.

(2)我们也可以用worn out来表达“疲惫不堪的”,这个主要用在口语中。例如:

Can we sit down? I'm worn out.


very sad

(1)我们可以用heartbroken来表达“心碎的,伤心的”,例如:

She was heartbroken when her dog died.

(2)也可以用depressed来表达“抑郁的;沮丧的”,有种对未来丧失希望,意志消沉的感觉。例如:

After his wife left him, he became depressed and refused to talk to anyone.

(3)还可以用devastated来表达“极度不安的”,经常用来表达遭受巨大打击之后的状态。例如:

He was devasted after his company went bankrupt.


very happy

(1)我们经常用delighted来表达“高兴的,愉快的”,例如:

The doctors say they are delighted with her progress.

(2)此外,也可以用thrilled来表达“欣喜若狂的”,有种不仅很开心,而且很兴奋的感觉。例如:

He is thrilled at the idea of going to Disneyworld.


very difficult

(1)我们可以用challenging来表达“有挑战性的”,它不仅表达这个任务很困难,也给人一种自己会努力去克服这种困难的感觉。例如:

Mike found a challenging job as a computer programmer.

(2)此外也可以用demanding来表达“要求高的;难满足的”,给人一种很难应付的感觉。例如:

Ricky was a very demanding child.


very cold

(1)我们可以用freezing 来表达“冰冷的”,这个单词是由freeze结冰,冰冻)变形过来的,所以给人一种冷得要冻起来了的感觉。例如:

It’s freezing in this house. Can’t I turn on the heating?

(2)也可以用chilly来表达“寒冷的,阴冷的”,一般指太冷了,让人感到不舒服。例如:

They have to get washed and dressed in a chilly bathroom.


very hungry

(1)我们可以用starving来表达“极饿的”,这个单词的动词starve是“饿死”的意思,所以starving有种自己要饿死了的感觉。例如:

I’m starving. Let’s go and have some food.

(2)此外还可以用famished, 这个单词来自于famine(饥荒),所以给人感觉是经历过饥荒一样,那肯定是饿得不得了。例如:

I’m famished. I could eat a horse.


very angry

(1)我们可以用furious表达“狂怒的”。例如:

She was furious when she found out he’d been lying to her.

(2)还可以用outraged表达“愤慨的,义愤填膺的”,一般是因为别人干了坏事,让人觉得生气并且震惊。例如:

Most people were outraged by the 9/11 attacks.

(3)此外,也可以用动词短语lose one’s temper来表达因为生气而发脾气。例如:

It was the first time I’d seen her lose her temper.


最后,如果有时实在想不到用什么词来替代“very+adj.”的话,我们可以用extremely/ unusually/ super等来替代very。例如:

My mobile phone is extremely useful.

She seems an unusually clever girl.

I'm going to Greece in the summer so I've got to be super slim. (注意:super大多用在非正式文体中)


大家学会了吗?今后每次自己想用very的时候可以先停下来,思考一下我能不能用其他更加丰富的词来代替它呀。
