Adjective Intensifiers
Natural adverb-adjective pairings that add emphasis
はじめに
英語には、特定の副詞と特定の形容詞のペアがあって、これを間違えるとネイティブじゃないのが一発でバレます。強調したいとき、「very cold」じゃなくて「bitterly cold（身を切るように寒い）」、「very unlikely」じゃなくて「highly unlikely（極めてありそうにない）」と言うんです。こうした強調コロケーションが、自然な強調と精度を生み出します。
日本語でも「猛烈に暑い」「極めて困難」など、形容詞と副詞には決まった組み合わせがありますよね。英語も同じで、この章ではネイティブが本能的に使う最重要の副詞＋形容詞ペアを学びます。
