用法說明

How is "Extremely" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Extremely"?

extremely + adjective vs extremely + adverb

  • extremely + adjective 是最常見的用法,用來強調形容詞的程度,修飾名詞的狀態或性質。
  • extremely + adverb 則是用來強調另一個副詞的程度,修飾動作或狀態發生的方式。
  • 注意:extremely 本身是程度副詞,通常不用來直接修飾動詞(如 "extremely run" 是錯誤的)。若要強調動作,應使用 "extremely + 副詞 + 動詞" 的結構(如 "run extremely quickly")。
  • 在比較級或最高級前,通常會使用 muchfar 而非 extremely(例如 "much hotter" 比 "extremely hotter" 更自然)。 EN: The water in the hot spring is extremely hot. 翻譯: 溫泉的水極度地燙。

EN:She sings extremely well for a beginner.

翻譯:以初學者來說,她唱得極好。

總結建議

在大多數情況下,使用 "extremely + 形容詞" 來強調狀態,或使用 "extremely + 副詞" 來強調動作的方式即可。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Extremely"?Which "Extremely" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×He is an extremely man.

He is an extremely tall man.

「extremely」是副詞,不能直接修飾名詞(man)。必須修飾形容詞(tall)或另一個副詞,然後再與名詞搭配。

×I extremely like chocolate.

I like chocolate extremely.

「extremely」通常不直接放在主要動詞(如 like)之前。它更常修飾形容詞或副詞。若要強調動詞,可使用「really」或「very much」。若要使用「extremely」,可將其置於句尾或修飾動詞後的形容詞(如 extremely fond of)。

×The weather is extreme hot.

The weather is extremely hot.

「extreme」是形容詞,不能修飾另一個形容詞(hot)。修飾形容詞必須使用副詞形式「extremely」。

×It's extremely more expensive.

It's much more expensive.

「extremely」通常不用來修飾比較級形容詞(more expensive)。修飾比較級時,應使用「much」、「far」、「a lot」等詞。

×I am extremely tired, so I will go to bed.

I am very tired, so I will go to bed.

雖然語法正確,但在日常對話中,描述一般程度的疲勞時,使用「very」更自然。「extremely」語氣非常強烈,通常用於強調程度異常高或極端的情況,可能不適合所有普通情境。

×It is an extremely good idea.

It is an exceptionally good idea.

「extremely good」語法正確,但有些母語者認為「extremely」與本身已具正面意義的形容詞(如 good, excellent)連用時略顯冗餘或不自然。在正式或精確寫作中,可使用「exceptionally」、「particularly」、「really」等詞。
