For instance, in today's dialogue, Dave asks, "How easy is it to resize?" He could have alsoasked, "How difficult is it to resize?" or "How hard is it to change the ring size?" These questions have the same meaning.
比如,在今天的對話中,Dave問:「How easyis it to resize? (調整戒指的大小容易嗎?)」 他也可以問:「How difficult is it to resize? (調整戒指的大小困難嗎?)」或者「How hard is it to change the ring size? (改變戒指的尺寸有多難?)」 這些問題的意思都相同。
Besides "hard," "difficult" or "easy," we also use other adjectives to ask about the level of something.
除了hard (困難的)、difficult (困難的)和easy(容易的),我們還可以用其他形容詞來提問某事的程度。
