quite a bit用法讲解(英语中QUITE一词如何使用)

In English, we often use the word quite when we are talking, and there’s a number of different ways to use the word quite when you’re describing people or places.

在英语中， 我们经常在谈话时使用 quite 这个词，在描述人或地方时，有许多不同的方式来使用这个词。

In this English lesson, I’ll look at quite a few ways that you can use the word quite when you’re speaking English, and when you’re done, I think you’ll be quite a bit better at using the word quite.

在这节英语课上，我将介绍几种在说英语时可以使用 quite 这个词的方法，当你学完后，我想你会更好地使用 quite 这个词.

(upbeat music) One of the ways English speakers use the word quite is when they use it with the word the to talk about a person or thing that’s remarkable or to talk about someone or something that is awesome.

（欢快的音乐）说英语的人使用 quite 这个词的其中一种方式是，当他们将它与 the 一词一起使用时，可以谈论一个非凡的人或事物，或者谈论令人敬畏的某人或某事。

You might hear something like this.

你可能会听到这样的话。

Maybe you know someone who’s a really good athlete.

也许你认识一个非常优秀的运动员。

You could say, “She’s quite the athlete.” Maybe you know a person who’s a really, really good musician.

你可以说，“ 她非常擅长运动。 ”也许你认识一个人，他是一位非常非常优秀的音乐家。

You could then say. “He’s quite the musician.” Maybe you’ve gone to the city and there’s a really, really big building, and it just looks awesome.

然后你可以说。 “ 他真是个音乐家。” 也许你去了城里，那里有一座非常非常大的建筑，而且看起来很棒。

You could say, “Wow, this is quite the building.” So one of the first ways we use quite, we combine it with the word the to talk about a person or thing that is awesome or remarkable.

你可以说，“哇，这栋建筑真漂亮。”因此，我们使用 quite 的第一种方式是，我们将它与 the 一词结合使用来谈论令人敬畏或非凡的人或事物。

Another way we use the word quite is when we want to emphasize the description of a person, place, or thing, or when we want to emphasize the description of an action.

我们使用 quite 这个词的另一种方式是当我们想要强调对一个人、地方或事物的描述时，或者当我们想要强调对动作的描述时。

Maybe you know someone who’s really good looking.

You could use the word quite in the same way we use the word very.

您可以像我们使用非常这个词一样使用这个词。

You could say, “He is quite handsome.” Maybe you go to visit a friend who just moved into a new apartment and you thought it was going to be big, but it’s actually small, smaller than you thought.

你可以说，“他很帅。”也许你去拜访一位刚搬进新公寓的朋友，你认为它会很大，但实际上它很小，比你想象的要小。

You could then say, “The apartment is quite small.” I came outside today to make this video, and I would have to say it’s quite cold out here today.

然后你可以说， “ 公寓很小。 ”我今天出来拍这个视频，我不得不说今天这里很冷。

Right now, I am talking quite slowly, and right now I’m talking quite quickly.

现在，我说话很慢，现在我说话很快。

So you can use the word quite to describe a person, to describe a place, to describe your environment, or to describe an action that is happening as well.

所以你可以用相当这个词来描述一个人，描述一个地方， 描述你的环境，或者描述正在发生的一个动作。

And again, it’s used almost exactly the same way as you would use the word very.

而且，它的使用方式几乎与您使用“非常”一词的方式完全相同。

We also use the word quite to emphasize how much we like doing something or how much we enjoy doing something.

我们也用相当这个词来强调我们有多喜欢做某事或我们有多喜欢做某事。

Maybe you have a camera and you take pictures and you like taking pictures.

也许你有相机，你喜欢拍照， 而且你喜欢拍照。

You could say to someone, “I quite like taking pictures with my new camera.” Maybe you have started exercising and you’ve been doing it for a few months.

你可以对某人说，“我很喜欢用我的新相机拍照。”也许您已经开始锻炼并且已经锻炼了几个月。

If you are having a conversation with someone, you could say, “I quite enjoy exercising.” So once again, you can use the word quite to kind of emphasize how much you like doing something or how much you enjoy doing it.

如果你正在和某人交谈，你可以说，“我很喜欢锻炼。”所以再一次，你可以用相当这个词来强调你有多喜欢做某事或者你有多喜欢做这件事。

You’ll often hear English speakers using the word quite in a sentence where they’re already describing something, and they just want to add an extra word to emphasize it a bit more.

你会经常听到说英语的人在他们已经在描述某事的句子中使用 quite 这个词，他们只是想添加一个额外的词来更加强调它。

I do have to apologize, because English speakers love to add extra words into sentences when sometimes they don’t seem completely necessary and quite is one of those words.
