喜樂美語
  1. 1rB2/kənˈsɪdərəbli/相當地；大幅地

    By a large amount; much or a lot.

    示範例句 · Example

    It's considerably colder today than it was yesterday.

    逐字它今天相當地比較冷，比起它昨天。

    「considerably」是副詞，意思是「程度上很多、幅度很大」——比 a little / slightly 強很多，接近 a lot / greatly，但語氣比較正式、常出現在書面或課堂報告。它常放在比較級前面（considerably colder / better / easier），也常跟改變類動詞一起用（improve / change / reduce considerably）。可以想成：在一把量尺上往前（或往後）跨了一大步，不是小小挪一下。

Picture a gap big enough that you would stop and remark on it — not a nudge, but a real distance. This adverb does one job: it takes a difference or a change and tells you the size of it is worth noticing.
