fairly与rather的用法区别,本文主要内容关键词为:区别论文,此文献不代表本站观点,内容供学术参考,文章仅供参考阅读下载。

fairly与rather是一对易混淆的表示程度的副词。都可译为“颇”、“相当地”,但它们在语气和用法上却不尽相同。

1)多数情况下fairly用于褒义的形容词或副词前,如good、well、nice、careful等,相当于汉语的“尚”。而rather则主要用来修饰贬义的形容词或副词,如bad、ugly、fool等。如:

a.It is a fairly good book.

这是一本尚好的书。(fairly good=尚好)

b.This foreigner speaks English fairly well.

这个外国人英语说的还可以。

(fairly well=尚可)

c.It is a rather bad composition than I expected.

这篇作文要比我想象的糟得多。

d.He is rather stupid to forget his own name.

他蠢得竟忘记了自己的名字。

e.Peter is fairly clever.but his brother is rather stupid.

彼得相当聪明,但他的弟弟(哥哥)颇有些蠢。

2)有时两者也都可用在褒义形容词或副词前,这时两者强调的程度不同,rather语气重些。其含义不再是“相当”而表示“很、非常”不再表示贬义。比如就一次讲座来说a fairly good lecture(一个还不错的讲座)意思是“勉强可以的讲座”但决不值跑很远去听它。a rather good lecture(一个很不错的讲座)意思是“很出色的一次报告了”相当于a very interesting lecture不去听都会很遗憾的。又如:

a.It is a fairly interesting story.

这是一本还可以的小说。(含很一般之意)

b.It is a rather interesting story.

这是一本很有趣的小说。(含向人推荐之意)

3)一些不含褒贬之义的形容词、副词,如slow、fast、thin、thick、hot等。可通过在这些词前加fairly表示“赞同、喜欢”,加rather表示“不赞同、不喜欢”。例如:

a.The noodle is fairly hot.

这面条很热乎。(表示说话人喜欢热汤面)

b.The noodle is rather hot.

这面条太热了。(表示说话人嫌面太热)

4)与不定冠词连用时,fairly只能用在不定冠词之后:a fairlygood day(一个好天)。而rather既可放在不定冠词前或后,也可放在定冠词之后:a rather stubborn mule/rather a stubborn mule(一头相当倔强的骡子),the rather tall boy in the comer(在墙角那个相当高的男孩子)

5)下列情况中只宜用rather不宜用fairly。

(1)用在like、alike、similar、different等词之前,表示“少许”或“略微”等意时。

a.The two styles are rather similar.

这两种风格有点儿相似。

b.His view is rather different from yours.

他与你的观点略有不同。

(2)用在enjoy、like、dislike、object等词之前表示一种出乎别人或说话者本人意料之外的不太正常的爱好。

a.Some people rather like being miserable.

有些人倒是愿意受苦。

b.I rather like the smell of petrol.

我倒喜欢汽油味。

(3)可与比较级、too、名词、动词连用。

a.His wife is rather older than he is.

他的妻子比他年纪大不少。

b.This hat is rather more expensive than that.

这顶帽子比那一顶贵得多。

c.I think we've invited rather too many people.

我认为我们邀请的人太多了。

d.This book is rather too difficult for the juniors andrather too easy for the seniors.

这本书对低年级学生太难、对高年级学生又太容易。

e.It's rather a good idea.

这可真是个好主意。

f.We were rather hoping that you could stay for supper.

我们倒是希望你留下来吃晚饭。

g.I rather think you may succeed.

我倒认为你能成功。

h.The rain rather spoiled our holiday.

我们的假日适逢下雨,颇为扫兴。

除上述fairly与rather用词区别外,fairly有时用于口语意谓“完全地”:He was fairly exhausted(=completely exhausted).他一点儿力气都没了。rather也可用在rather than,would rather结构中表示选择,在此就不一一赘述了。
