NOTE ON USAGE 用法
*The adverbs fairly, quite, rather and pretty can all mean `moderately', `to some extent' or `not very' and are used to alter the strength of adjectives and adverbs. *fairly、quite、rather、pretty这几个副词均可表示｀适度地＇、｀在某种程度上＇或｀不很＇的意思, 常用以改变所修饰的形容词或副词的分量. Fairly is the weakest and pretty the strongest and most informal, but their effect is very much influenced by intonation. *fairly词义最弱而pretty词义最强, 也最通俗, 但词义的强弱受语调的影响很大. Generally, the more any of these adverbs is stressed, the more negative the sentence sounds. 一般说来, 这类副词读得越重, 句子听起来否定含义就越强.
1 When rather or pretty is used with a positive quality, it can sound enthusiastic *rather或pretty与褒义词连用时, 听起来心情愉快
*a rather/pretty good play 一出相 当好的戏. With a negative or variable quality they express disapproval 这两个词与贬义词或可褒可贬的词连用时, 表示不赞成或不满意
*rather/pretty poor work 相当差的工作
* I'm rather/pretty warm. 我很热.
* It's rather/pretty small/big. 这可太小[大]了.
2 Fairly is mostly used with positive qualities *fairly多与褒义词连用
*fairly tidy, spacious, friendly, etc 挺整洁、宽敞、热情等 (compare 试比较
*rather untidy, cramped, unfriendly, etc 很零乱、狭窄、冷淡等).
3 Only rather can be used with comparative expressions and too 只有rather可与比较级的词语和too连用
*The house is rather bigger than we thought. 这所房子比我们想的大得多.
* These shoes are rather too small. 这双鞋未免太小了.
4 Rather and quite can precede the indefinite article when followed by an adjective + noun *rather和quite与｀不定冠词+形容词+名词＇连用时, 可置于不定冠词之前
*rather/quite a nice day 十分晴朗的一天
