词组 just
释义 just
      As an adverb, just has many uses, almost all of which have a somewhat informal quality. It can mean "exactly" ("just right"), "very recently" ("someone just called"), "barely" ("just in time"), "immediately" ("just west of here"), "only" ("just a reminder"), "very" ("just wonderful"), and "possibly" ("it just might work"). Handbooks on writing occasionally cite one or more of these senses as a colloquialism (the "very" sense, in particular, has often been singled out), but all of them occur commonly in writing that is not unusually lofty in subject matter or tone.
      The phrase just exactly has been frequently criticized as a redundancy since Fowler 1926 described it as a "bad tautology." Our evidence indicates that its occurrence in edited prose is extremely rare.
