英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ):除了all 英文如何表達(dá)“完全”“徹底”

字號(hào):


    提到“完全”、“徹底”,你的腦海中是否只會(huì)閃現(xiàn)all、completely、entirely一類的單詞?其實(shí)外國(guó)的小伙伴們還有更豐富的詞匯,來(lái)表達(dá)他們強(qiáng)烈的語(yǔ)氣呢~
    1. Every inch
    不說(shuō)all,你也可以用every inch(每一寸)來(lái)表示“完完全全地,整個(gè)地”。
    例:With his new suit on, he looks every inch a businessman.
    穿上新西裝,他看上去完全是個(gè)商人了。
    2. Through and through
    Through本身有“完全的”、“徹底的”意思, through and through就更能加強(qiáng)這種語(yǔ)氣了。
    例:I know him through and through, and he would never do such a cowardly thing.
    我對(duì)他十分了解,他絕不會(huì)這么懦弱。
    3. Root and branch
    這個(gè)短語(yǔ)把樹(shù)根和樹(shù)杈都說(shuō)全了,用來(lái)形容“徹徹底底”再合適不過(guò)了。
    例:The laws were reformed root and branch.
    法律法規(guī)經(jīng)歷了徹底的改革。
    4. To the core
    Core有“核心”之意,to the core則表示“徹底”、“十足”。
    例:Her family is English to the core.
    她家都是地道的英國(guó)人。
    5. From head to toe
    除了用樹(shù)根樹(shù)杈來(lái)描述“全部”,歪果仁還會(huì)用上面這個(gè)短語(yǔ)來(lái)表示“全身”、“從頭到腳”,也可以用來(lái)形容“徹頭徹尾”。
    例:I admire them from head to toe!
    我對(duì)他們佩服得五體投地!
