Sometimes we want to add emphasis to what we feel or do. Perhaps we don’t want to just tell someone “I love you”, but “I love you very much.” Maybe we don’t want to just describe “I work hard”, but “I work very hard.”

有时我们想强调我们的的感觉或是所做的事。也许我们不想告诉别人“我爱你”，而是“我非常爱你”，也许我们不只想描述“我努力工作”，而是“我非常努力地工作”。

 

Very is a commonly used word in the English language that works as a superlative, a word that adds length, weight, boldness, and an emphasis to an adverb.

“very”是英语中最常用的一个词，用作最高级，是一个增加副词长度、重量、粗体表示强调的词。

 

Sometimes though, if we use very too often (i.e. “I love this very much”; “I ran very fast”; “I worked very hard”), it can become redundant. If you use the same word over and over, it can lose its meaning; it can lose its value.

但有时，如果我们使用very太频繁（例如，“我非常喜欢这个”；“我跑得很快”；“我很努力”），它可能会变得多余。如果你一次又一次地使用同一个词，它会失去它的意义；它会失去它的价值。

 

Sometimes, telling someone seriously, “I love you,” holds more weight than saying “I love you very much.” This can be avoided by selectively choosing when to use “very”, and only using it when you truly mean it. This overuse can also be avoided by adding variety to your language.

有时，认真地告诉某人，“我爱你”，比说“我非常爱你”更重要。这可以通过有选择地选择何时使用“非常”来避免，只有当你真正认真地使用它时才使用它。这种过度使用也可以通过增加语言的多样性来避免。

 

There are many very synonyms to use in place of very that add diversity and color to the way we speak or write, and perhaps some synonyms are more fitting for what we mean to say than just “very”.

有很多同义词可以用来代替very，这增加了我们说话或写作的方式的多样性和色彩，也许有些同义词比“very”更适合我们所说的意思。
