"terribly" in Chinese (Traditional)

• 非常
• 糟糕地

Definition

這是一個副詞，表示「非常」或「極其」，常見於稍正式或略顯老派的表達中。根據語境，它也可以保留「以很糟糕的方式」的本義。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

常放在形容詞前，如 'terribly sorry'、'terribly expensive'、'terribly kind'。現代英語裡，它比 'very' 更顯正式、更偏英式，或稍微有點老派。要注意區分：有時只是加強語氣（'terribly busy'），有時真的表示「糟糕地」（'things went terribly wrong'）。

I am terribly sorry for being late.

我對遲到感到**非常**抱歉。

This bag is terribly expensive.

這個包**非常**貴。
