adj.(形容词)

1. great的基本意思是“大的,巨大的,非常的,很多的”,通常指物体在规模、体积上大或数量上众多。有时great可指在空间或时间上存在一定的距离,即“距离遥远的,时间久远的”,当用于表示健康状况时,指一个人的身体比较好或平安,即“健康的,平安的”。great还可指一个人在事业上很有成就,并受到人们的尊敬,即“伟大的,杰出的”; 或指某人或某物居于十分显要的地位,即“重要的,显著的,值得注意的”。great还可用来指“非常愉快的,令人满意的”“擅长,精于”“无比的”等。在用来表示程度时, great还可指“格外的,相当的”“名副其实的”等。
2. great在非正式英语中可用来表示赞同、羡慕或兴奋,还可表示蔑视等情感。
3. great可与形容词或表示品质、感情、困难等的名词连用,起强调作用,或放在名词前,表示一种“十足的”或“名副其实的”特性。

adj.(形容词)

a great deal, a great many

这两个短语的共同意思是“许多”。其区别是：

a great deal后常接不可数名词。例如:

She has spent a great deal of time reading the letter.她读这封信花了许多时间。

而a great many后常接可数名词。例如:

I've read a great many books.我看过许多书。

great, big, large

这三个词都可表示“大”,常可互换。例如“一棵大树”可说a big tree,也可以说a large tree,还可以说a great tree。其区别在于:

1.big常用于体积、程度、分量; large常用于面积、范围、数量; 而great带有强烈的感情色彩,只可用于抽象事物。例如:

The sun is a big ball of fire.太阳是个巨大的火球。

There is a large hall in the middle of the school campus.校园中间有个大厅。

The great animal crept slowly towards me.这庞然大物慢慢向我爬来。

He has made great progress.他取得了很大进步。

2.修饰人时,这三个词含义不同:big指长大或大人物, large指高大肥胖,而great则指(伟)大。例如:

She is a big girl.她现在是个大姑娘了。

He's the greatest man I've ever seen.他是我见过的最伟大的人物。

She is a large woman.她是个高大的女人。

3.在语气上, big比large通俗; great比large感情色彩浓。

4.big和great常可用来加强语气,表示强烈的感情。它们可以和别的形容词连用,也可以彼此连用。例如:

You great age!您真是高龄!

You big fool!你真是个大傻瓜!

Move your great big smelly feet!拿开你的臭脚!

注意只能说great big,不能说big great。

5.如将“大小”相对,可说big and little, large and small, great and little〔small〕。

big，large，great，grand

这些形容词均含“大的”之意。

big常用词，使用广泛，较口语化。多指体积、重量或容量等方面的“大”，有时也用于描写抽象之物。

large普通用词，含义广，指体积、面积、容量、数量以及程度等方面的大，具体或抽象意义均可用。

great普通用词，可指具体东西的“大”，但更常指事物的重要，人的行为、品格的伟大等，带一定的感情色彩。

grand侧重指盛大、宏大的、有气派。

adj.(形容词)

你来帮忙好极了。

误 It was great for you to help.

正 It was great of you to help.

析 It is/was great of sb to- v 表示“…好极了”, of不可改为其他介词。

• ☆ 直接源自古英语的great，意为大的，精略的。
