Fairly has two main meanings: doing something in a just and reasonable way ('to treat someone fairly'), or moderately/quite ('fairly good,' 'fairly often'). In the second sense, it's less strong than 'very' but more than 'slightly.' British English uses 'fairly' frequently as a softener to avoid sounding too definite.

「fairly」有两个主要含义：以公正合理的方式做某事（「to treat someone fairly」），或适度/相当（「fairly good」「fairly often」）。在第二种意义上，它比「very」弱但比「slightly」强。英式英语经常使用「fairly」作为缓和语，以避免听起来过于肯定。

Fairly tiene dos significados principales: hacer algo de manera justa y razonable («tratar a alguien justamente»), o moderadamente/bastante («bastante bueno», «bastante a menudo»). En el segundo sentido, es menos fuerte que «very» pero más que «slightly». El inglés británico usa «fairly» frecuentemente como suavizador para evitar sonar demasiado definitivo.

「fairly」には2つの主な意味があります：公正かつ合理的な方法で何かをすること（「to treat someone fairly」）、または適度に/かなり（「fairly good」「fairly often」）。2番目の意味では、「very」より弱いですが「slightly」より強いです。イギリス英語では、断定的に聞こえすぎないようにする緩和語として「fairly」がよく使われます。

fairly는 두 가지 주요 의미가 있습니다. 공정하고 합리적인 방식으로 하는 것('to treat someone fairly': 누군가를 공정하게 대하다), 또는 적당히/꽤('fairly good': 꽤 좋은, 'fairly often': 꽤 자주)라는 뜻입니다. 두 번째 의미에서는 'very'보다 약하지만 'slightly'보다 강합니다. 영국 영어에서는 너무 단정적으로 들리지 않기 위한 완화 표현으로 'fairly'를 자주 사용합니다.
