时光如梭,白驹过隙。屈指算来,从我第一次接触“新三”到现在,已经十个年头有余。依我自己的学习体会来看,“新三”中有一个非常实用但又容易被人忽略的语言现象,那就是我在这里所要给大家诠释的——强调词汇。一旦彻底掌握了这个语言点,你其实就掌握了日常口语及写作中非常重要的基本语言“润色”能力。
与此同时,这一类词语由于其具备强调的意义通常也是句子中需要“重读”的关键词语,掌握它们的其作用自然不言而喻。我相信,列出的大部分词语都是大家使用的高频词汇。但是,真正在意识上会把它们当成一类工具词语来使用并且刻意添加以加强语气或充实句子的人很少。要知道,积累、分类强调词汇其实是通向语言variety(多样性)的第一条道路,非常关键。
当然,词不离句,我在这里首先要澄清一个优先概念:强调句型(注意不是强调句)。表示强调的句型我们简称为“强调句型”,包括倒装句强调句感叹句等。这里我主要涉及的是强调句型中的一支:“强调词汇”——即通过词汇来表达情感。
接下来我就根据意义进行分类,再结合例句给大家介绍这些强调词汇(以adv.为主)的作用,并且总结这些词在新概念三册中的所有相关例句。非常巧,这其中包含了大量新概念三的经典钻石句,这也间接说明了我在此总结并希望大家熟练掌握强调词汇的重要性。希望大家在看完各部分的单独分析后再参照我后面所列出的新概念三册里的例句巩固加深记忆并且掌握各种语境下的用法。
一、“很” :VERY
在表示“非常”“很”或“太”的时候,我们有不少词能够表达类似的意思:
awfully (= terribly 既可表可怕 也有awfully beautiful = very beautiful表示“很”)
badly (非常极度 The babies are badly in need of domestic milk powder substitute.)
bloody (英式英语中表“忒”的意思 例如bloody well right表示“非常好”)
dame (英语口语表示强烈情感时候经常用 例如“很好”用dame good)
deadly (极度的绝对的 He was deadly heartbroken by her ex-girlfriend.)
dearly (从深情引申到深深 He was dearly in love with her at that time.)
dreadfully (= terribly 例如表示“怕得要命”be dreadfully scared)
much (表很大程度上通常用作句首倒装 引导转折 Much as…+不带but的转折)
enormously (万分非常 He was enormously grateful for her backing him up then.)
enough (表充足= abundant = adequate 但接在adj. adv. 后表示“很” well enough)
exceedingly (= extremely 非常好的同意替换词He drove exceedingly fast.)

highly (各种讲话中最常用的表示“高度”的词 He was highly praised.高度赞扬)
over (太 过分的 例如over anxious表过度焦虑)
so (如此 It was so stupid of him to come up with such an idea that almost killed us.)
terribly(注意跟thanks to = because一样没有感情偏向He was terribly lucky.)
too (常跟其它表示“很”的词搭配使用 He is only too willing to be of her service.)
way (常以way too/over/off/above搭配的形式出现表示“大大”或“远远超过”)
well (= way 例如His intelligence is well above an average 3-years old.)
