问题描述：
关于fairly/very/quite
1 He didn`t behave fairly politely at the dinner table.
He didn`t behave very politely at the dinner table.
2 My grandmother never goes to bed quite early.
My grandmother never goes to bed very early.
这两道改错题,上面一句是题目,下面一句是答案.请问为什么要做这样的改变?
答
fairly 一般指恰到好处,形容politely应该用表示加强语气的副词,因为politely已经有恰到好处的意思了,再用fairly就重复了.
“quite early”直译的话就是“还算早”,放在第二句里显然不合适,不如very来的通顺.
