Hi. I'm Rebecca from engVid.After teaching English for more than 30 years, my goal in all my lessons is to help you to learn English more quickly and easily.
嗨。我是 Rebecca 来自engVid。在教了30多年英语后，我所有的课程目标都是帮助你们更快更简单地学习英语。
So in the next few minutes you're going to be able to take your English to a higher level by learning seven advanced expressions with intensifiers.
那么在接下来的几分钟，你会通过学习7种用加强词的高级表达方式来让你英语能提升到一个更高的层次。
Now, what does that mean?What are intensifiers?Let's find out. Okay?
那么，这是什么意思？什么是加强词？我们来一看究竟。好吗？
So let's start with this example in a general situation. Okay?"Joan likes music."
那么我们从一个一般情况下的例子开始。好吗？“Joan 喜欢音乐。”
We can say that, or we could say: "Joan really likes music."
我们可以这么说，或者我们可以说：“ Joan 真的喜欢音乐。”
In this example, the word "really" is an intensifier, and what an intensifier does is that it strengthens or emphasizes the verb.
在这个例子里，单词 "really" 就是一个加强词，加强词就是它会加强或者强调动词。
She doesn't just like music, she really likes music, and that's fine to say. Okay?That's called an adverb intensifier.All right?
她不只是喜欢音乐，她真的爱音乐，这样说很好。对吧？这种被称为副词加强词。对吧？
Doesn't matter, but maybe for those of you who like to understand grammar, I'm just telling you what the words are.
这不重要，但可能你们中的一些人喜欢理解语法，我只是告诉你这些单词是什么。
All right, let's look at another example from a business context.
好了，我们来看另一个在商务语境下的例子。
"We appreciate your offer." Okay?No intensifier, there.
“我们感谢你的帮助。”对吧？这里没有加强词。
The next example: "We really appreciate your offer."
下一个例子：“我们真的感谢你的帮助。”
Now, again, the word "really" was the intensifier.
那么，再说一次，单词 "really" 就是一个加强词。
But do we use only "really" as intensifiers?No.
但我们只用 "really" 作为形容词吗？不是的。
We use many, many other words because it would be very boring to keep saying "really" all the time.
我们还有很多，很多其他单词因为总是不停说 "really" 是非常无聊的。
Also, "really" might be fine in this example because it's kind of informal and conversational,
同样的，"really" 可能在这个例子里不错，因为它是有些非正式或者口头性质的，
but here it's a little bit more formal, a little bit more businesslike, so you want to use better English, you want to use more advanced English, and you want to use more advanced expressions.
但是这里，这是有点正式的，有点商务性质的语境，而你想要用更高级的英语，用更高级的表达方式。
So, what do we usually say instead of that with the verb "appreciate"?
那么，我们通常用什么来替代它修饰动词 "appreciate"？
We usually say something like this: "We truly appreciate your offer." Okay?
我们通常会这么说：“我们由衷感谢你的帮助。”对吧？
Now, in this example, the word "truly" is the intensifier instead of "really". Right?
那么，在这个例子里，单词 "truly" 是替代 "really" 的加强词。对吧？
And the verb stays the same, so that's "appreciate".
而动词保持一致，所以 "appreciate"。
So, when you have an intensifier like "truly" or "really" plus a verb, like "appreciate", that's called a collocation. Okay?
所以，当你用一个像 "truly" 或 "really" 的加强词修饰一个动词时，比如 "appreciate"，这被称为一种固定搭配。
Or a word combination, two words which are used together very frequently. All right?
或者是一个单词的组合，两个单词常常合在一起使用。对吧？
So people expect to hear them together. All right?
人们期待听到他们在一起。对吧？
So when you use them, you sound much more natural.
那么当你在使用他们的时候，你听起来会更自然。
You also sound a little bit more formal, more polite, more educated, a little bit more refined and cultured, and just more advanced in English.
你还会听起来正式一些，更礼貌，更有文化，更有教养且更讲究，也就是更高级的英语。
All right? Because obviously if you say: "I truly appreciate your offer", instead of saying: "I really appreciate your offer", then you're going to sound more advanced.
对吧？因为很明显如果你说：“我由衷感谢你的帮助”，而不是说：“我真的感谢你的帮助”，那么你就会听起来更高级。
Now, of course, it depends on the situation.
那么，当然，这依据于具体情况。
If you're just talking to friends, maybe you want to keep saying "really appreciate", but I'm going to show you seven other expressions...
如果你只是和朋友聊天，或许你想就一直说 "really appreciate"，但我打算教你七种其他的表达...
Six other expressions-you've already learned one, all right?
六种其他的表达方式-你已经学了一种了，对吧？
Which you can use and which are used very often in academic circles and also in professional circles.

Because you can use these expressions in speaking and writing, you can use them in social and business situations,
因为你可以在演讲和写作中用这些表达，你可以在社交或者商业场合用，
like especially in customer service, in meetings, negotiations, presentations, discussions. Right?
特别是比如客户服务中，会议中，协商中，展示中，讨论中。对吧？
And, of course, we can use them in a lot of academic situations, like in your essays, or your IELTS, or your TOEFL.
当然，我们也可以在很多学术情境这么用，像是你的论文，或者你的雅思写作，或托福写作中。
Imagine if you started using this kind of vocabulary instead of regular vocabulary.
想象一下假设你开始用这种单词而不是常规的单词。

那么第一个：“强烈推荐”，“真心相信”，“深感遗憾”，“充分认识”，“真诚希望”，和“积极鼓励”。
So, what did you notice in those?Each of them had an intensifier. Right?
那么，在这里你注意到了什么？它们中每个都有一个加强词，对吧？
"Strongly", "honestly", "deeply", "fully", "sincerely", "positively", and each of them had a verb: "recommend", "believe", "regret", etc. Okay.
“强烈地”，“真心地”，“深深地”，“充分地”，“真诚地”，“积极地”，而且它们每个都有一个动词：“推荐”，“相信”，“遗憾”等等。
So, why are they expressions?Why are they called collocations?
所以，为什么他们是表达方式？为什么他们被称为固定搭配？
Because these expressions, these two-word combinations are used together, and they are recognized as good expressions to use together.
因为这些表达方式，这两个单词合体被一起使用，而且他们在一起是很好的表达方式。

好了，现在，再说一点：尽管 用这些高级的表达方式很好，但不要在同一篇文章里一直用好吗？
