词汇用法说明


Awesome: (AmE, informal) very good, enjoyable, etc

词汇用法说明

Awesome 和 terrific 一样,在英汉字典里都有可怕的意思, 但事实上 awesome 和 terrific 百分之百就只有很棒的意思, 老美常用来形容可怕的单字是awful/terrible, 请勿和 awesome/terrific 混淆了. 用法上通常老美只单讲 awesome 一个字, 例如别人问你, "How do you like my new house?" (你觉得我的新家如何?) 你就可以竖起大姆指说. "Awesome!" 或是人家问你, "What do you think of that game?" (你觉得那场比赛如何?) 这时你也可以说 "Awesome!"表示那场比赛真的是很精彩.

Excellent: used to show that you are very pleased about sth or that you approve of sth 太好了,棒极了
You can all come? Excellent!
你们都能来?太好了!

在日常生活的运用上, wonderful, terrific, fabulous, awesome 跟excellent 基本上都是可以互换使用的. 例如你刚从欧洲旅游回来, 别人问你, "How's your trip?" (旅程如何啊?)这时你的选择就有很多种了. 你不但可以回答, "Wonderful!","Terrific!" "Fabulous!" 还可以回答, "Awesome!" ,"Excellent!" 这几个字不论在意义上和程度上都不多.
