entirely用法中的两点注意
1. entirely用于否定句中构成的是部分否定。如:
His work was not entirely satisfactory. 他的工作并非完全令人满意。
I’m not entirely happy with that idea. 我对那个主意并不十分满意。
Her mind was not entirely on her work. 她的心没完全在她工作上。
2. entirely一般不与 very 连用,但可以与 almost 连用。如:
他对自己所做的事差不多全忘了。
误:He had very entirely forgotten what he had done.
误:He had forgotten what he had done very entirely.
正:He had almost entirely forgotten what he had done.
