"terribly" in Chinese (Simplified)

• 非常
• 糟糕地

Definition

这是一个副词，表示“非常”或“极其”，常见于稍正式或略显老派的表达中。根据语境，它也可以保留“以很糟糕的方式”的本义。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Simplified))

常放在形容词前，如 'terribly sorry'、'terribly expensive'、'terribly kind'。现代英语里，它比 'very' 更显正式、更偏英式，或稍微有点老派。注意区分：有时只是加强语气（'terribly busy'），有时真表示“糟糕地”（'things went terribly wrong'）。

我对迟到感到**非常**抱歉。

This bag is terribly expensive.

这个包**非常**贵。
