法律小纠葛 Unit 1 A Brush With The Law Eventually &finally ?不要混淆 eventually 和 finally 。?表示某事几经延迟或波折后最终发生,可以用 eventually 。?例如, Eventually they got to the hospital (他们最终来到了医院), I found Victoria Avenue eventually (我最终找到了维多利亚大街)。? eventually 还可以表示一系列事件之后发生的事,常为这些事件的结果: Eventually, they were forced to return to England (结果他们被迫返回英格兰)。 Eventually &finally ?表示经过长时间的等待或期盼后某事终于发生时, 用 finally 。?例如, Finally I went to bed (我终于上床休息了), The heat of the sun finally became too much for me (我终于受不了太阳的炙烤了)。? finally 还可以表示一系列事件中最后发生的事: The sky turned red, then purple, and finally black (天空变成了红色,既而紫色,最后成了黑色)。 Rather, pretty, quite, fairly ? rather, pretty, quite 和 fairly 都可以用于修饰形容词和副词,但是它们都没有 very 的程度强。? rather 和 pretty 在这 4个词中程度最强,意思和 very 最接近。表达这个意思时 pretty 是非正式说法。因此, 如果对某人说 Your work is pretty good (你干得非常好)或 Your work is rather good (你干得相当好)要比说 Your work is quite good (你干得很不错)或 Your work is fairly good (你干得还不错)更令他高兴。?但是, rather 往往和有消极意义的词连用,如: I was feeling rather sad (我觉得很难过)。?在这些词中唯有 rather 可以和比较级或 too 连用。如: Global warming could be rather worse than we think it will be(全球变暖可能比我们想象的更加严重), He was ing rather too friendly with my ex-boyfriend (他和我的前男友好得有些过了头)。? quite 比 fairly 的程度稍强一些,表示某物有些超乎人们的期望。如: Nobody here's ever heard of it but it is actually mon (这里没有人听说过它,但是它实际上颇为常见)。 Arbitrary 随意的,草率的? Collections : ? Arbitrary boss 独断专行的老板? Arbitrary decision 武断的决定? Arbitrary punishment 肆意的惩罚? .
