awful到底是褒义还是贬义?

不一定

形容词awful和副词awfully都是口语词

(1)awful有两个语义

一是“非常糟糕的”，贬义

比如an awful smell(糟糕的气味)，the awful truth(骇人的事实)

二是表强调，特别是强调量巨大，中性

一个最常见的用法是an awful lot of，比如an awful lot of money(一笔巨款)

(2)awfully有一个语义

表强调，中性

比如awfully quiet(极其安静)，awfully familiar(极为熟悉)

注意区分形近词，awesome，形容词，美国人口语经常用，指“棒极了”。

awesome中间那个e别丢了，也别送给awful，可以把它想象成一个笑脸

“Dead” 在英式口语中的用法 | 地道英语

Neil:

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

Feifei:

Oh, sorry, Neil! 我昨天晚上睡得特别晚，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. 在英式口语里，我们可以用 "dead" 来加强一个形容词的语气。比如：我刚才说的 "dead tired"，这里用 "dead" 加强 "tired" 的语气，所表达的意思就是 “特别累”。

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:

这里是 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》节目。在这集节目里，我们给大家讲解 "dead" 这个词一个鲜为人知的用法和意思。"Dead" 是 "alive" 的反义词，意思是 “死亡的，去世的”。但在英式口语中，尤其是英格兰北部的人，会经常把 “dead” 用在形容词前，加强语气，强调他们的话语。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. 在使用的时候要记住："dead" 不可以用在极限形容词前。

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!
