    示範例句 · Example

    The math test was extremely difficult, and only a few students finished it in time.

    逐字這次數學考試極度地困難,只有少數學生及時完成了。

    extremely 放在形容詞或副詞前面,意思是比 very 還要更強的「非常」。它可以想成是從 extreme(極端)長出來的字,帶著「一路推到邊界」的感覺,所以 extremely difficult 不只是「難」,是「難到不行」。它只能放在形容詞或副詞前面,不能單獨使用,也不能修飾名詞。

Picture pushing a quality all the way to the end of its scale — not just cold but as cold as the word cold can carry. This adverb does nothing on its own; it takes an adjective and moves it to the far end.

可以想成:把一個性質推到刻度的最尾端——不只是冷,而是冷到這個字裝得下的極限。這個副詞自己不表示什麼,它的工作是抓住一個形容詞,把它推到最遠的那一格。
