英语中有多重表达自己对某人或某物的喜爱的词语，今天我们就跟着Kate Woodford一起来梳理梳理。
1）Starting with a very frequent adjective; lovely is used a lot in UK English for generally good things and experiences（在英式英语中，lovely主要用来表示总体上不错的事物或经历，意为“好看的；美好的”）:
That’s a lovely dress you’re wearing! （你身上的裙子很好看！）
It was so lovely to see you again! （再次见到你真好！）
2）Moving on to words that express stronger approval; two very common adjectives meaning ‘very surprising’ are also used slightly informally to mean ‘extremely good’. Incredible and amazing are both used to praise things, sometimes describing a thing that is so good, you cannot quite believe it（两个词都表示“极妙的；几号的”，强调某物好得令人难以置信）:
It was an amazing performance – I’ve never seen anything like it. （这场演出真是太精彩了——我从未看过如此精彩的表演。）
He was an incredible artist – almost certainly a genius. （他是个极为出色的艺术家——简直就是个天才。）
3）Other strong adjectives that are commonly used to mean ‘extremely good’ are wonderful, (UK) marvellous / (US) marvelous and fabulous（这三个词用来表示“非常好”，注意marvellous的美式英语拼法为marvelous）:
He’s a wonderful cook. （他是个很棒的厨师。）
It’s a marvellous story. （这是个很精彩的故事。）
The food was fabulous. （这些食物美味极了。）
4）The word excellent is also used a lot, often describing something that is of extremely good quality（出色的；极好的）:
The service was excellent. （这里的服务非常好。）
I thought the acting was excellent. （我认为演员的表演很精彩。）
5）Similarly, superb is used to describe something of the highest quality（一流的；上乘的）:
a superb album （非常好的影集）
It was a superb goal. （这个目标棒极了。）
6）Of course, there are more informal adjectives too that are used to ‘great’. ‘Fantastic’ is one and ‘brilliant’ (in UK English) is another（fantastic和brilliant都表示great的涵义，但更加口语化。注意briliiant多用于英式英语中）:
The view was just fantastic. （这个观点很棒。）
We were lucky – the weather was brilliant. （我们运气很好——天气好极了。）
7）Two informal, approving adjectives that are used especially by younger people are cool and awesome（这两个词主要是年轻人使用得较多，表示“非常棒；好极了”）:
It’s a really cool place to hang out. （这个地方非常适合闲逛。）
She has an awesome voice. （她的嗓子真是棒极了。）
8）Other adjectives describe things which are very unusual because they are so good, for example exceptional（表示不同寻常的好）:
The care I received from the hospital staff was exceptional – it couldn’t have been better. （医院的工作人员给到我的照顾非常周到——好得简直无与伦比。）
9）Outstanding also refers to something that is very much better than others of the same type（杰出的；突出的）:
All in all, it was an outstanding performance by Messi. （总的来说，梅西的表演最为突出。）
10）The adjectives remarkable and extraordinary, meanwhile, describe things that are extremely good, having a quality that is unique, or at least, very special（两个词都表示“非凡的；特别的”）:
her extraordinary beauty （她的美貌非同寻常）
Even as a young girl, she had a remarkable singing voice. （即便只是个小女孩，她却拥有一副非同一般的好嗓子。）
11）Of course, we also use idioms to say that things are very good. Something that is out of this world is extremely good（出色的；了不起的）:
The food there is out of this world. （那里的食物非常棒。）
12）If you say that something takes some beating, you mean it is so good that it is hard to improve on（难以超越得好）:
That hotel would take some beating. （那个宾馆好得不得了。）
13）Finally, someone or something that leaves someone or something standing is very much better than others of the same type:（远远胜过）
Her voice is excellent – it leaves the others standing. （她的嗓子非常好——远远超过其他所有人。）
