对四个“强化语”用法的分析

摘要

伦道夫·夸克等语法家把 Very.much,so和too这类副词称为“强化语”.虽然它们在句中都起加强语气,增强语义的作用,但它们的意义和用法都各有其特点.本文拟就它们各自的特点,分为“Very与Much”,“Very与Too”和“Very与So”三个部分,分别加以论述.一、Very与 Much1.Very用以修饰形容词或副词,不能修饰动词.修饰动词要用 much或 very much,如:The dentist is very busy at the moment.现在牙医很忙.(very修饰形容词)You’ve been very nice to me all along·Mr.Cowperwood,and I appreciate it.你们一贯待我很好,柯柏乌先生,我心中感激.(very修饰形容词)And between you and me and the post,sir,itwill be a very nice portrait,too.这是咱们私下里说的话,先生,那会是一张非常漂亮的肖像.(very修饰形容词)Because of the warm and sunny weather.or-anges grow very well here.因为这里气候温暖,阳光充足,桔子长得很好.(very修饰副词)
