有这样一道选择题:
—He speaks very good English.
—No, I don’t think so. But he really speaks ______ and fast.
A. goodB. well C. badD. badly
你知道此题的答案吗?是 A 还是 B,或是 C 还是 D?你有可能选 B,你的理由是:修饰动词 speak 要用副词 well,而不能用形容词 good。
其实此题选 B(well)的错误不在于修饰问题,因为单独看 He speaks well and fast 并没有什么不妥。但在本题这样的语境中,选 B(well)与上文显然是自相矛盾。
此题正确答案为 A(good),其理由是:good and 是一习惯用语,其义相当于 very,通常放在形容词或副词前,加强语气。又如:
He was good and tired. 他很累了。
It was good and cold in the room. 房间里很冷。
The soup was good and hot. 这汤很烫。
It’s good and warm in front of the fire. 炉火前面暖洋洋的。
The work was good and easy. 这工作挺容易的。
有时,也可以将以上用法中的 good 换成 nice, fine, big, lovely 等。如:
The house stands nice and high. 这房子很高。
The car is going nice and fast. 这车跑得很快。
The grass is fine and tall. 草长得很高。
It was a lovely and warm day. 那是很暖和的一天。
The boss was always big and busy. 老板总是很忙。
The book is fine and expensive. 这本书很贵。
