词组 fairly
释义 fairly
fairlyadv. [′feǝlɪ] (fairlier; fairliest)
双解释义
1. 公平地,公正地,诚实地  in a fair manner; honestly
2. 相当地,适度地  a certain extent; moderately
3. 完全地,简直  completely; actually
基本要点
1. fairly的基本意思是“公平地,公正地”,指做事情时保持一种公平、公正的心态;还可指“相当地,适度地”,指做事情有一定的标准,而不脱离这个标准。fairly引申可指“完全地,简直”。
2. fairly通常和表示“好”的形容词或副词连用,当与中性形容词或副词连用时表示“赞同,赞赏”。
3. fairly通常用于肯定结构而少用于否定结构。
4. 当fairly短语中有不定冠词a时, a应置于fairly之前。
5. fairly作“完全地,简直”解时多半用来修饰带有夸张色彩的动词或状语,所以此时fairly不能放在句末。

词语辨异
 ♣ fairly, pretty, quite
 这组词的共同意思是“相当”。其区别是:fairly是这组词中程度最轻的一个,可以理解为“还算,还说得过去”。例如:
 I can see fairly well from here. 我从这儿还看得清楚。
 He is a fairly good player. 他是个还算不错的运动员。
 quite 所表示的程度比fairly稍重,可理解为“十分,相当”。例如:
 The film is quite nice. 这部影片相当不错。
 pretty 是这组词中程度最强的一个,可理解为“很,相当”,常用于口语。例如:
 Her sister is still pretty sick. 她的姐姐仍然病得很重。
 The wind blew pretty hard. 风刮得很大。
 ♣ fairly, rather
 这两个词的共同意思是“相当”。其区别在于:
1. fairly主要用来修饰含有“好”的意思的形容词或副词,如good, well, attractive等;而rather主要用来修饰含有“不好”的意思的形容词或副词,如bad, foolish, ugly等。例如:
 The red shirt fits you fairly well. 这件红色衬衣挺适合你穿。
2. 如果被修饰的形容词或副词是中性的,如fair, cold, hot等,用fairly表示“赞同,赞赏”;而用rather则表示“反对,不喜欢”。试比较:
今天天气相当冷。
It is fairly cold today.(表不满意
It is rather cold today.(表示不满意

3. 不定冠词可以放在rather之前或之后,但只能放在fairly之前。例如:
 He is rather a stupid man. 他是个相当蠢的人。
 It is a rather good film. 这是部很好的电影。
 She is a fairly clever girl. 她是个很聪明的女孩。
4. rather可以用在alike, like, similar, different等词和形容词比较级前,意思是“有点”;而fairly不能这样用。例如:
 The two brothers are rather alike. 这两兄弟长得有点像。
5. 当rather用来修饰含有“好”的意思的形容词或副词时,意思接近very,在语气上比fairly强。
6. rather可以放在like, enjoy, love, respect等动词前,表示一种出乎意料的喜欢,或用来加强语气;而fairly不能这样用。例如:
 He rather liked walking in the rain. 他竟喜欢走在雨中。
正误解析
1. 春天到了,天变得暖和了。
 [误] Spring has come and it is getting fairly warmer.
 [正] Spring has come and it is getting fairly warm.
 [正] Spring has come and it is getting rather warmer.
 [析] fairly不能修饰形容词或副词的比较级。
2. 这是一个相当好的问题。
 [误] This is fairly a good question.
 [正] This is a fairly good question.
 [析] fairly意为“相当地,颇有几分”,一般放在形容词或副词前作修饰以表示程度,但如果句中有不定冠词,不定冠词要放在fairly前面。
