英语口语：“very delicious”竟然是错误的英文？

见到美食。不少朋友们想到的英文是“delicious”，想要表达太好吃了，就脱口而出“very delicious”然而这是错误的表达，delicious 在英文当中，属于程度很深的单词，表示非常美味，非常好吃，这类形容词本身就带“very”的效果，不使用“very”来表达程度。如果一定要加强语气，可以加“absolutely”.

It’s delicious. 太美味了!

It’s absolutely delicious. 真是太美味了!

类似的形容词还有很多，例如：

enormous/huge

= very big

tiny = very small

atrocious=very bad

destitute=very poor

perilous= very risky

exhausted= very tired

ravenous=very hungry

spotless=very clean

brilliant = very clever

awful; terrible;

disgusting; dreadful

= very bad

certain = very sure

excellent; perfect; ideal;

wonderful; splendid

= very good

还有一些形容词

虽然不是程度最深

却也不常和very连用

赶紧拿出笔记本记下来吧

I’m wide awake.
