But, please be careful.
但是要注意。
It is possible to overuse intensifiers, particularly these high extremes,
过度使用加强词，尤其是使用这些高强调性的加强词，
so your sentence can really quickly become too full of strong emotions.
可能会使你的语句情感过于强烈。
And you'll start to sound a little insincere.
听起来不太真诚。
If this sentence was a person, it would sound like this.
如果这句子是一个人，它听起来会像这样。
The most unbelievably phenomenal thing has happened!
发生了一件最不可思议的事情！
My incredibly brilliant and utterly amazing brother
我聪明绝顶、超级完美的兄弟
just met an extremely wealthy man who owns an exceptionally successful company.
刚刚遇到了一个极其富有的人，这个人拥有一家非常成功的公司。
That's a bit too much!
这样的表达有点太过了！
So just take it easy okay?
放松，好吗？
With intensifiers, less is more.
在使用强调词的时候，少即是多。
It's better to have one or two really appropriate intensifiers than to have too many in your sentence, right?
在句子中，使用一两个真正合适的强调词要更好，用多了会适得其反。
Now, not all intensifiers are high-intensity.
不是所有的强调词都是高强调性的。
Not everything in life is so extreme, right?
生活中的每件事情也不是都是很极致的，对吧？
So we also use intensifiers to show medium and low intensity.
所以我们也会使用中低强调性的强调词来表达。
For medium intensity, these are really common ones.
有些很常见的中强调性的强调词。
really，very，pretty，quite，and particularly
比如really，very，pretty，quite和particularly
So these intensifiers are not quite as strong and they're not quite as intense.
这些强调词没有那么高的强调性，语气也没那么强烈。
But they are good to use if you want to emphasise a point a little, but not too much.
如果你只想适度强调，但又不想太够强烈的话，这几个词很好用。
Your resume is impressive.
你的简历令人印象深刻。
Your resume is quite impressive.
你的简历令人印象颇为深刻
Those desserts are good.
那些甜品很好。
Those desserts are particularly good.
那些甜品非常好。
The movie was okay but it got pretty violent towards the ends.
这部电影还不错，就是结局太暴力了。
And for low intensity,
还有一些低强调性的强调词，
you could use:mildly，relatively or somewhat
你可以用：mildly，relatively或者somewhat
So these are low strength intensifiers.
这些都是低强度的强调词。
They're useful to emphasise that the adjective is not strong.
它们在形容词不需太过强调的时候，非常有用
So imagine that you went to a comedy show last night and it was okay.
想象一下，你昨晚去看了场戏剧表演，还不错。
It was kind of funny.
有点有趣。
Definitely wasn't as funny as you thought it would be though.
不过绝对没有你想象的那么有趣。
So the show was mildly amusing.
所以，这场表演有点好笑。
Not much of a compliment for a comedy show if it was mildly amusing.
如果只是还行的表演，是没法得到太多称赞的。
So let's compare intensifiers.
让我们来对比一下这些强调词。
She's been stressed lately.
她最近压力大。
She's been mildly stressed lately.
她最近压力有点大。
She's been pretty stressed lately.
她最近压力很大。
She's been incredibly stressed lately.
她最近压力巨大。
