请教专家老师,是不是选A也对?
It is_______nice of you to say so.
A. truly
B. true
C. really
D. real
童老师:
truly和really在用法上有相似之处,也有不同之处,我们在前面一个地方已经回答过,仅就你的这个单句来看,用truly和really都可以。当然最通常的选择肯定是really。
查Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English(朗文当代英语词典)的truly词条,其第1条解释就是:
truly [+ adjective/adverb]
1. used to emphasize that the way you are describing something is really true
= really
His work is truly original.
Fawcett was a truly remarkable man.
该词典明确指出,用于此义时,truly=really。很显然它所给例句Fawcett was a truly remarkable man中的truly完全可以用really代替。
罗老师:
我更倾向于用really,因为truly多用于强调事物的真实性。
