詞語用法

pretty作形容詞時,可以是一個帶有諷刺含義的形容詞。

He has made a pretty mess of the job.

他把自己的`工作弄得真是夠亂的。

pretty也作副詞,但只可以修飾其他形容詞或副詞,表示“頗…”。絕不能修飾動詞,否則副詞形勢應該是prettily。如在sit pretty(處於有利形勢)的用法中,pretty是表語,沒有修飾動詞;

與其他表示“頗”的副詞的區別:fairly僅指“相當”,程度較輕,修飾形容詞、副詞。quite程度較fairly稍重,修飾形容詞、副詞、動詞和名詞。rather要更重一些,修飾形容詞、副詞、動詞和名詞。pretty和rather程度相仿,但僅修飾形容詞和副詞,而且不正式。

adv.(副詞)

pretty用作副詞,主要用於非正式場合的口語中,一般用作減弱語,即針對於一定標準而在程度上有所減弱,可修飾使人產生好感的詞,也可修飾產生惡感的詞。另一方面, pretty又可作為形容詞或副詞的強化語。究竟是減弱抑或強化,須根據上下文而定。

adj.(形容詞)

pretty著重指女性適度的美,指嬌小可愛,側重表面的吸引力或部分的美。語氣較beautiful弱,且大多用來指年輕的女性,一般不用來描寫成年男性。

pretty也可以用於男女兒童,表示漂亮、活潑、可愛。

pretty用於物或動物,常含有“小巧玲瓏,精緻美好”的意思。

【同義詞】

adv.(副詞)

adj.(形容詞)

attractive charming good-looking handsome lovely

【反義詞】

adj.(形容詞)
