[color=darkblue]很，非常，及其的英文表达 zz[/color]
很，非常，及其的英文表达 zz相信大家都会有这样的经历: 每每用英语表达一些很一般的概念时, 我们总会立刻想起某个表达法. 例如: 想说"很"时,立刻想到了very或very much; 想说"大"时, 则用big 或large.这样的一一对应, 大大减弱了英语写作的丰富性和生动性.
于是这些最先为我们想到的表达法, 便成了我们提高英语水平的羁绊. 如果我们能把这些最常用概念的英语表达归类, 总结, 贫乏的英语表达便会涣然一新.

1) most
(used for giving force)
a. (to an adjective) very

b.(to an adverb) quite; very

以说 most certainly, 但不能说most tall 或 most quick
