用法剖析:
Guidelines
👍 The meaning of a lot and very much is basically the same: a big amount. A lot is quantitative - this means that alot could also be replaced with a number or a frequency. Look atthese sentences: She eats a lot. She talks a lot. He smokes a lot. He complains a lot. You could replace a lot with: she eats four meals a day, she talks all the time, he smokes 50 cigarettes a day, he complains everytime he has a problem.
🉑 A lot和very much在語義上基本上是一樣的,意思都是「很大量」。A lot是一個定量表達,就是說我們可以用次數或者頻率來替代a lot, 見如下例句
She eats a lot. 她吃很多。
She eats four meals a day. 她一天吃四頓。
She talks a lot. 她話很多。
She talks all the time. 她沒完沒了地說話。
He smokes a lot. 他抽很多煙。
He smokes 50 cigarettes a day. 他一天抽50根煙。
He complains a lot. 他很多抱怨。
He complains every time he has a problem. 他一有問題就抱怨。
👍 very much is qualitative and cannot be used when a quantity or frequency is implicitlyinvolved. You can use very much generally with regard to describing your feelings aboutsomething or someone, typically with love and miss, and generally also with like.
🉑 Very much則是一個定性表達,因此不能在有數量或頻次的句中使用。一般very much常與我們對於某事或某人的情感連用,因此常常跟在love和miss之後,like之後用very much也很常見。
👍 You can put very much between the subject and verb: I very much like red wine = I like red wine very much. You cannot put a lot before an infinitive or the object of the sentence: I want a lot to go. I miss a lot him.
🉑 Very much可以放在主語和動詞之間,比如:I very much like red wine = I like red wine very much. 我很喜歡紅酒。而a lot則不能放在不定式或者賓語之前,比如下面兩句就是不可行的:I want a lot to go. 我很想走。I miss a lot him. 我很想念他。
👍 There is no difference between a lot and very much in negative sentences. So you can say She doesn’t talk a lot or She doesn’t talk very much with really no difference in meaning.
🉑 在否定句中a lot和very much基本上是一樣的。所以我們可以說She doesn’t talk a lot 或者She doesn’t talk very much意思都是一樣的。
練習題:Choose the correct form
1. He eats a lot /very much.
