学英语,不只是背单词,更要抓住那些最地道、最口语的表达。今天我们要学的短语是: far and away —— 别小看它,这可是美语中夸张强调的经典用法,中文里就像“远了去了”“好得不得了”这种说法,非常有画面感。
far and away 是一个副词短语,用来表示“远远地”“显著地”。它常常和形容词或副词的最高级连用,用来加强语气,强调差距很大,优势明显。
中文对照理解:
far and away ≈ “远了去了”、“压倒性地”、“绝对地”。
结构: far and away + the + 形容词最高级
比如:
This is far and away the best pizza I’ve ever had.
(这绝对是我吃过最好吃的披萨了!)
This is far and away the dream deal.
这笔交易美得远了去了。
That was far and away the better team.
那个队明显强多了。
She is far and away the most qualified candidate.
她绝对是最合适的候选人。
Far and away, he has the best performance record in the company.
他无疑是公司里表现最好的。
| 搭配词(最高级) | 中文意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| best | 最好的 | Far and away the best teacher I’ve ever had. |
| worst | 最糟的 | That was far and away the worst movie this year. |
| biggest | 最大的 | Far and away the biggest mistake of my life. |
| most important | 最重要的 | Far and away the most important lesson I’ve learned. |
除了 far and away,还可以用这些词语来“夸”到底:
by far:This is by far the best restaurant.(这是目前为止最好的餐厅。)
hands down:He is hands down the fastest runner.(他毫无疑问是最快的。)
without question:This is without question the most exciting moment.(这无疑是最激动人心的一刻。)
✅ 小技巧:far and away 比 by far 更正式一点,适合演讲、商务陈述;hands down 则更口语化、更轻松。
