The suitcase is ____ light.I think I can carry it.

问题描述:

The suitcase is ____ light.I think I can carry it.
A.rather B.fairly
C.enough D.quite a
(rather 与 fairly 的用法有什么区别?) 87.135

我觉得选B是对的,具体辨析如下:
rather可以和比较级形容词或者too连用,fairly则不行.例如:
My brother is rather better today.我兄弟今天好多了.
This book is rather too difficult for the juniors and rather 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.
在上述各句子中fairly都不能用.
另外,fairly和rather还有以下区别:
1. fairly表示对事物的赞赏,有令人喜悦之感,含褒义,一般修饰表示“好”的形容词或副词,如:nice, good, well, bravely等;而rather往往表示对事物的不赞赏,有令人不悦之感,含贬义,修饰表示“不好”的形容词或副词,如:bad, ugly, stupid等,例如:
It’s fairly warm today.(今天真暖和) It’s rather cold yesterday.(昨天实在冷)
You did fairly well, but he did rather badly.
有时rather 也跟表示“好”的形容词或副词连用,这时等于very.
2. fairly与rather修饰中义词时,表示说话人的不同感受或看法.试比较:
It’s a fairly easy book.(这本书还算容易) It’s a rather easy book.(这本书太浅了)
