词组 | large, largely |
释义 | large, largely The adverb largely is described as un-idiomatic following the verbs bulk and loom by several commentators, dating back to Fowler 1926. Our evidence confirms that large is the usual choice: • These inner planets ... do not bulk very large in the solar system as a whole —Carl Sagan, Scientific American, September 1975 • ... and America loomed large in their imagination —Garrison Keillor, Lake Wobegon Days, 1985 We do have substantial evidence for bulk largely in our files, but none more recent than 1949. Our only example of loom largely is from speech. |
