adv

① 1完全地,非常地;十分地2[与否定语合用,作为部分否定]并不完全;有点不
- I'm quite certain.我十分确定。
- The theater was not quite full.戏院没有完全客满。
- You're quite right.你非常对。
- "Are you finished?"－"No, not quite."「做完了?」「没有,还没有完全做完。」
- He isn't quite a gentleman.他不能完全算是绅士。

②[作quite a [an] ...或quite some ...]不寻常地;了不起地(★后面所接的是没有形容词的单数名词)
- That's quite a movie.那是一部了不起的电影。
- That was quite a party.那是一次不寻常的聚会[派对]。
- She's quite a girl.她是个相当了不起的女子。

③ 相当,颇
- She's quite a clever girl.她是个颇为聪明的女子。
- His autobiography is quite interesting.他的自传(倒)相当有趣。

④[后面常接but]【英】有几分;或多或少(=more or less)
- She's quite pretty, but dull.她有几分姿色,但是乏味。
- (Oh,) quite.=Quite (so).的确;不错(用于表示赞同的回答)。

用法

(1)quite伴有不定冠词而后接「形容词+名词」时,有quite a [an] ...与a quite ...两种词序;

【美口】

后者用得多:

It is a quite good book [quite a good book].

(那是一本十分[相当]不错的书)。

(2)释义3的用法表示主观的判断,往往含有「意外」之意,因此像

Your book is quite interesting.

这种说法,意谓「你的著作(我本来以为没什么了不起,没想到) 还满有趣」,对于对方是不礼貌的,而与此相对的,作释义「完全地,非常地;十分地」时,表示客观的正确的程度,但如不用在明确的上下文时,恐怕会被解释成字义「相当,颇」的意思,所以主要地说,要称赞对方的时候,以不使用quite宜。
