【说明】quite 有时也修饰比较级,但只用于quite better(身体康复)这一表达。(2) 有的程度副词(如quite, rather, almost等)可修饰动词,但有的(如fairly, pretty, very等fairly, pretty, 则不能修饰动词。如:I quite agree with you. 我完全同意你的意见。(不用fairly, pretty, very)We rather like the film. 我们很喜欢这部电影。(不用fairly, pretty, very)(3) 个别的程度副词(主要是quite和rather)还可修饰名词(注意词序)。如:It’s quite [rather] a good idea. / It’s a quite [rather] good idea. 那可真是个好主意。若此结构中没有形容词,则 quite 和 rather 则只能放在冠词之前。如:It was quite [rather] a success. 那事相当成功。
