核心问题
The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. (New Concept English, Book 2, L.65)
most 在这里是构成形容词的最高级吗?
词典解答
most 除了用于构成形容词和副词的最高级之外,还可以用作形容词和副词的加强语,其语义相当于“very”或“extremely”(“很”“极其”)。例如:
-
Recognizing who the customer was, the manager was most apologetic and reprimanded the assistant severely. (New Concept English, Book 3, L. 31) 经理认出顾客是谁, 表示非常抱歉, 并狠狠地斥责了店员。
-
They have been most kind to me. (Bennet) 他们对我很好。
