Absoluy Absoluyfascinating–引人入勝。Fascinating已經(jīng)是一個(gè)有力的形容詞，如果要想再加強(qiáng)它的意思就要用absoluy,而不是very.英語(yǔ)里一般用very來修飾一些意思不是特別形容詞，比如interesting–veryinteresting.不過我們也要注意的是，absolu 思強(qiáng)勁的形容詞，用到其它詞上就不合適了，absoluyinteresting聽起來 OnBBCLearningEnglishtodaywe’vebeenhearingfromtheAmericanactressReneeZellweger.
