“非常生气”除了“very angry”?还能这样表达:
代替very的词
在口语或写作中,你有没有过:
“词汇不够,very来凑”的经历呢?
巨大的:very big
愤怒的:very angry
这样说英语不仅显得词汇贫乏
而且离你真正想表达的总差那么一点距离。
其实,在英文中有很多词可以代替very+简单形容词
今天我们就一起来学习这些词~
你会发现,运用这些词立马让你的表达地道十倍!
01
第一波
以上讲到的就不再赘述了, 再来补充一些其它的词:
very angry —> furious 愤怒的
very beautiful —> gorgeous 美丽动人的
very rich —> wealthy 富有的
very careful —> cautious 谨慎的
very expensive —> costly 昂贵的
very busy —> swamped 繁忙的
Sb"s swamped with something:XX在XX事上忙不过来
She"s swamped with powerpoint for the presentation.
她忙着做做展示用的PPT。
very clean—> spotless一尘不染的
现在我们来描述下下面的这张图。
(布里是一个美丽富有的家庭主妇,她在一个一尘不染的厨房里做烘培。她生起气来,因为她不小心打破了一只昂贵的碗。)
如果是之前,我猜大家会这么来说:
Bree is a very beautifuland richhousewife. She is busy withbaking in a very cleankitchen. She gotvery angry as she broke a very expensivebowl because of her carelessness.
对比:
Bree, a gorgous and wealthyhousewife, was swaped withbaking in a spotless kitchen. She got furiousas she broke a costlybowl because of her incaution.
这样描述画面感, 语言的贴切感立马出来,英语好得连自己都不敢相信了!

very bad —> awful 糟糕的
very smart —> intelligent 聪明的
