【问】 下句中的all that是什么意思?

1. I didn’t like her all that much.

2. It isn’t all that cheap.

3. I don’t know him all that well.

【答】 all that用于口语，意思相当于“very”。句(1)可译为“我并不大喜欢她”。句(2)可译为“这件东西不算便宜”。句(3)可译为“我并不很认识他。”

all that中的that是个副词，all是个增强语。all that几乎总是用在否定句中。请看下面的实例：

1. They are not all that worried now. (MWDEU)

他们现在并不那么忧伤。

2. ... he wasn’t all that hungry. (同上)

……他并不大饿。

3. Slowly he becomes aware that the world isn’t all that easy to conquer.

慢慢地他就会认识到，世界并不是那么容易征服的。
