這些形容詞均含“害怕的、可怕的”之意。 afraid指由于膽小或怯懦而不敢說(shuō)或做某事。 fearful普通用詞，既指外界情況變化而引起的恐懼，又指來(lái)自內(nèi)心的害怕與焦慮。 awful指威嚴(yán)得令人害怕或敬畏，有一定的感情色彩。 dreadful指使人非?？謶?，毛骨悚然，也使人感到討厭而退縮。 frightful指使人陷入短暫的驚恐或產(chǎn)生毛骨悚然的感覺(jué)。 terrible側(cè)重指給人以長(zhǎng)久的驚駭，極端的恐怖，令人難以忍受。 horrible指因駭人聽(tīng)聞的丑惡而令人毛骨悚然，著重厭惡的成分多于害怕。 terrific多指外表、形狀或力量等的可怕。 appalling指既令害怕又使人驚異、膽寒。

awful到底是褒義還是貶義?

不一定

形容詞awful和副詞awfully都是口語(yǔ)詞

(1)awful有兩個(gè)語(yǔ)義

一是“非常糟糕的”，貶義

比如an awful smell(糟糕的氣味)，the awful truth(駭人的事實(shí))

二是表強(qiáng)調(diào)，特別是強(qiáng)調(diào)量巨大，中性

一個(gè)最常見(jiàn)的用法是an awful lot of，比如an awful lot of money(一筆巨款)

(2)awfully有一個(gè)語(yǔ)義

表強(qiáng)調(diào)，中性

比如awfully quiet(極其安靜)，awfully familiar(極為熟悉)

注意區(qū)分形近詞，awesome，形容詞，美國(guó)人口語(yǔ)經(jīng)常用，指“棒極了”。

awesome中間那個(gè)e別丟了，也別送給awful，可以把它想象成一個(gè)笑臉

“Dead” 在英式口語(yǔ)中的用法 | 地道英語(yǔ)

Neil:

Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English — I'm Neil and this is Feifei. Feifei? Feifei!

Feifei:

Oh, sorry, Neil! 我昨天晚上睡得特別晚，今天 "dead tired"!

Neil:

You're dead tired, Feifei? Are you dying? That's awful! What have you got? Is it contagious?

Feifei:

Oh, Neil, don't be silly! I'm not sick or contagious or dying! I'm just really tired!

Neil:

That's a relief! But, you said you were "dead" tired. But you're not dying?

Feifei:

Oh, really, Neil? I think you're more tired than I am! I said "dead" tired because I'm really tired.

Neil:

So we can use "dead" to mean "really" or "very"?

Feifei:

That's right. 在英式口語(yǔ)里，我們可以用 "dead" 來(lái)加強(qiáng)一個(gè)形容詞的語(yǔ)氣。比如：我剛才說(shuō)的 "dead tired"，這里用 "dead" 加強(qiáng) "tired" 的語(yǔ)氣，所表達(dá)的意思就是 “特別累”。

Neil:

Well, that's dead confusing — perhaps we should take a look at some examples.

Examples

Is it lunchtime yet? I'm dead hungry!

The man sat next to me on the train this morning kept falling asleep on my shoulder — it was dead annoying!

I was dead happy when I passed my driving test!

Feifei:

這里是 BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。在這集節(jié)目里，我們給大家講解 "dead" 這個(gè)詞一個(gè)鮮為人知的用法和意思。"Dead" 是 "alive" 的反義詞，意思是 “死亡的，去世的”。但在英式口語(yǔ)中，尤其是英格蘭北部的人，會(huì)經(jīng)常把 “dead” 用在形容詞前，加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣，強(qiáng)調(diào)他們的話語(yǔ)。Could you tell us a time when you were dead happy, Neil?

Neil:

Well, when I woke up this morning and found I had another hour until my alarm went off! I was dead thrilled!

Feifei:

Not quite. You were dead happy, but not dead thrilled! You can't use "dead" with extreme adjectives. 在使用的時(shí)候要記?。?quot;dead" 不可以用在極限形容詞前。

Neil:

Oh, OK, so you can say "dead cold", but not "dead freezing", or "dead good", but not "dead fantastic".

Feifei:

That was a dead good explanation, Neil! I see you have woken up a bit now, but I'm still dead tired.

Neil:

Well, how about you make us both a coffee while I finish the programme — it's your turn to make the coffees!

Feifei:

Err, no, Neil — I always make the coffee! I'll go make a coffee for me, not you, while you finish the programme!

Neil:

Uh-oh. I'd best go and make the coffees then! She's dead sensitive when she hasn't slept enough! Well, bye, everyone, and see you next time!
