用法說明
How is "Absolutely" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Absolutely"?
absolutely + adjective vs absolutely + verb
- absolutely + adjective 是最常見且正確的用法，用來極度強調形容詞的狀態，例如 "absolutely delicious"、"absolutely essential"。
- absolutely + verb 的用法較為罕見且不標準。在正式寫作中，應避免將 "absolutely" 直接置於動詞前來強調動作。
- 若要強調動作，通常會使用其他副詞（如 "completely", "totally"）或將 "absolutely" 與形容詞化的動詞（如 "absolutely amazing"）搭配。
- 在口語中，有時會聽到 "I absolutely love it!" 這樣的句子，這在非正式對話中是可接受的，但仍屬於強調情感狀態（love）而非動作本身。 EN: The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking. 翻譯: 從頂端看出去的景色絕對令人嘆為觀止。
EN:She absolutely agreed with the proposal.
翻譯:她完全同意這項提案。
總結建議
在大多數情況下，應將 "absolutely" 用於形容詞前以表示極度肯定，避免直接用於一般動詞前來強調動作。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Absolutely"?Which "Absolutely" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I absolutely agree with you.
✓I completely agree with you.
在一般口語中，'absolutely' 語氣非常強烈，通常用於強調極端同意或事實。對於普通程度的同意，使用 'completely'、'totally' 或直接說 'I agree' 更自然。
×The movie was absolutely interesting.
✓The movie was very interesting.
'absolutely' 通常不用來修飾可分級形容詞（gradable adjectives），如 'interesting'、'good'、'tired'。它常與極限形容詞（non-gradable/absolute adjectives）連用，如 'essential'、'fantastic'、'impossible'、'exhausted'，以加強語氣。
×I am absolutely not like that.
✓I am definitely not like that. / I am not like that at all.
在否定句中，'absolutely not' 常用於簡短、有力的否認（如回答問題）。在較長的否定陳述中，使用 'definitely not' 或 'not ... at all' 更為自然。'absolutely' 與否定詞連用時，位置和語境需要留意。
×She absolutely goes to school every day.
✓She definitely goes to school every day.
'absolutely' 強調的是「完全、徹底」的狀態或真實性，而非頻率或習慣的確定性。描述確定的習慣或事實時，應使用 'definitely'、'certainly' 或 'without fail'。
×It's an absolutely book.
✓It's an absolutely fantastic book.
'absolutely' 作為副詞，不能直接修飾名詞。它必須修飾形容詞、動詞或其他副詞。常見錯誤是漏掉後續需要被強調的形容詞。
×This is absolutely more better than that.
✓This is absolutely better than that. / This is much better than that.
'absolutely' 本身已含有極致、完全的意思，不應與比較級（如 more, better）或 'very' 等程度副詞連用，這會造成語意重複。它應直接修飾原級形容詞（尤其是極限形容詞）或動詞。
