 ♣ really, indeed, truly
　参见indeed条。
 ♣ really, practically, truly
　这三个词的共同意思是“事实上”“实际上”，都用于对事物真实性的评价。truly和really有时可以互换。其区别是：truly强调事物的真实性，表示事物是“真实的，正确的，有道理的”; really强调所述与事实相符，即“事实就是如此”; practically则指与事实相差无几，语气最弱。例如：
　This is a really〔truly〕 beautiful picture.　这确实是一张很美的画。
　There was a truly beautiful view from the window.　窗外景观确实美极了。
　He had practically finished his meal when I arrived.　我到达时他差不多吃完饭了。
　I really don't like her.　我可真不喜欢她。
 ♣ really在句中的位置不同会引起句子意思不同，试比较下列两组句子：
　
　

　虽然这是一次短暂的旅行，但我们过得真愉快。
　［误］ It was a short trip but we had really a good time.
　［正］ It was a short trip but we had a really good time.
　［正］ It was a short trip but we really had a good time.
　［析］ really不可与其所修饰的词隔开。

　［同义词］ absolutely, actually, certainly, surely, truly
