For example, if you say that something is the very best, you are emphasizing that it is the best.   [ADV superl]  [emphasis]They will be helped by the very latest in navigation aids...他们将会受益于最新的导航系统。I am feeling in the very best of spirits...我感觉自己的精神状态绝佳。At the very least, the Government must offer some protection to  mothers who fear domestic violence.最起码，政府必须向害怕遭受家庭暴力的母亲们提供某些保护。5[ADJ	形容词]（与某些名词连用，以确指最远的某一位置或时点）极端的 You use very with certain nouns in order to specify an extreme position or extreme point in time.   [ADJ n]  [emphasis]At the very back of the yard, several feet from Lenny, was a wooden shack...在院子的最后面离伦尼几英尺远的地方有一个小木屋。I turned to the very end of the book, to read the final words...我翻到书的最后一页去读最后的文字。The opening of a Euro-Disneyland in the very heart of France is a potent symbol...欧洲迪斯尼乐园在法国首都的开业就是一个有力的标志。He was wrong from the very beginning...他从一开始就错了。We still do not have enough women at the very top.处于最高层的女性仍然不够多。6[ADJ	形容词]正是的；合适的；同样的 You use very with nouns to emphasize that something is exactly the right one or exactly the same one.   [ADJ n]  [emphasis]Everybody says he is the very man for the case...每个人都说他是接手这个案子的最佳人选。She died in this very house...她正是在这间屋子里死去的。In my view, it only perpetuates the very problem that it sets out to cure...在我看来，这只会使要着手解决的问题一再拖延下去。'Most secret', he called it.

However, they are not used in the same way. Very is the simplest intensifier. It has no other meaning beyond that. So can suggest an emotional reaction on the part of the speaker, such as pleasure, surprise, or disappointment. John makes me so angry!... Oh thank you so much! So can also refer forward to a result clause introduced by that. The procession was forced to move so slowly that he arrived three hours late. Too suggests an excessive or undesirable amount, often so much that a particular result does not or cannot happen. She does wear too much make-up at times... He was too late to save her. very，so和too都可用来加强形容词、副词或much，many之类词语的含义，但它们的用法不尽相同。very 是最简单的强调词，除了表示强调没有其他含义。so可以表达说话者的情感反应，如高兴、惊讶或失望：John makes me so angry（约翰真是气死我了), Oh thank you so much（哦，非常感谢）。亦可用so与以that引导的结果从句连用：The procession was forced to move so slowly that he arrived three hours late（由于行进队伍被迫缓慢前进，结果他迟到了3个小时）。too表示数量过多或不尽如人意，常常导致没有或无法达到某一结果：She does wear too much make-up at times（她有时确实把妆化得太浓了），He was too late to save her（他来得太迟了，没能救得了她）。8[CONVENTION	惯用语]好的，是（用于表示对上级的指示或命令遵照执行） Very good is used to tell someone in authority that you agree to carry out a suggestion or order.   [formulae]  [FORMAL 正式]'Now give me some account of your voyage.' — 'Very good, sir.'“现在给我讲述一下你的航程吧。”——“非常乐意，先生。”9[PHRASE	短语]的确如此；千真万确 The expression very much so is an emphatic way of answering 'yes' to something or saying that it is true or correct.   [PHR as reply]  [emphasis]'Are you enjoying your holiday?' — 'Very much so.'“你的假期过得愉快吗？”——“非常愉快。”10[CONVENTION	惯用语]那好吧，行（用于表示同意或接受，即使不是完全满意） Very well is used to say that you agree to do something or you accept someone's answer, even though you might not be completely satisfied with it.   [formulae]'We need proof, sir.' Another pause. Then, 'Very well.'...“我们需要证据，先生。”又是一个短暂停顿。然后，“那好吧。”Very well, please yourself.好的，你自己随意。11[PHRASE	短语]不好，不能，没法（做…） If you say that you cannot very well do something, you mean that it would not be right or possible to do it.   [V inflects]He couldn't very well go to her office and force her to write a check...他不能去她的办公室强迫她开支票。I said yes. I can't very well say no.我答应了。我没法拒绝。 very1 adverbvery2 adjectiveveryve‧ry1 /ˈveri/ ●●● S1 W1 adverb  Examples Thesaurus Collocations Phrases 1[+adjective/adverb] used to emphasize an adjective, adverb, or phrase:  It feels very cold today. The fishing industry is very important to the area. The traffic’s moving very slowly this morning. problems that are very similar to mine I feel a lot better – thank you very much. I’m very, very (=used for emphasis) pleased you can come. It’s very kind of you to help. My sister and I were married on the very same (=exactly the same) day.the very best/latest/worst etc We only use the very best ingredients.2not very good/happy/far etc not good etc at all:  I’m just not very good at spelling. The garden’s not very big, is it? The assistant wasn’t very helpful. ‘Was the talk interesting?’ ‘Not very  (=only slightly).’3your very own used to emphasize the fact that something belongs to one particular person and to no one else:  She was thrilled at the idea of having her very own toys to play with.of your very own At last, she had a home of her very own.4informal used with adjectives to say that the quality something has is very noticeable or typical:  It was a very male reaction, I thought. His films are always very French.5very much so spoken used to emphasize your agreement or approval:  ‘Are you serious?’ ‘Very much so.’6very well old-fashioned spoken used to agree to somethingGRAMMAR: Adjectives that already mean ‘very’Some adjectives already mean ‘very’, for example terrible (=very bad), wonderful  (=very good), or hilarious  (=very funny).

However, they are not used in the same way. Very is the simplest intensifier. It has no other meaning beyond that. So can suggest an emotional reaction on the part of the speaker, such as pleasure, surprise, or disappointment. John makes me so angry!... Oh thank you so much! So can also refer forward to a result clause introduced by that. The procession was forced to move so slowly that he arrived three hours late. Too suggests an excessive or undesirable amount, often so much that a particular result does not or cannot happen. She does wear too much make-up at times... He was too late to save her. very，so和too都可用来加强形容词、副词或much，many之类词语的含义，但它们的用法不尽相同。very 是最简单的强调词，除了表示强调没有其他含义。so可以表达说话者的情感反应，如高兴、惊讶或失望：John makes me so angry（约翰真是气死我了), Oh thank you so much（哦，非常感谢）。亦可用so与以that引导的结果从句连用：The procession was forced to move so slowly that he arrived three hours late（由于行进队伍被迫缓慢前进，结果他迟到了3个小时）。too表示数量过多或不尽如人意，常常导致没有或无法达到某一结果：She does wear too much make-up at times（她有时确实把妆化得太浓了），He was too late to save her（他来得太迟了，没能救得了她）。 8 [CONVENTION 惯用语]好的，是（用于表示对上级的指示或命令遵照执行） Very good is used to tell someone in authority that you agree to carry out a suggestion or order. [formulae] [FORMAL 正式] 'Now give me some account of your voyage.' — 'Very good, sir.' “现在给我讲述一下你的航程吧。”——“非常乐意，先生。” 9 [PHRASE 短语]的确如此；千真万确 The expression very much so is an emphatic way of answering 'yes' to something or saying that it is true or correct. [PHR as reply] [emphasis] 'Are you enjoying your holiday?' — 'Very much so.' “你的假期过得愉快吗？”——“非常愉快。” 10 [CONVENTION 惯用语]那好吧，行（用于表示同意或接受，即使不是完全满意） Very well is used to say that you agree to do something or you accept someone's answer, even though you might not be completely satisfied with it. [formulae] 'We need proof, sir.' Another pause. Then, 'Very well.'... “我们需要证据，先生。”又是一个短暂停顿。然后，“那好吧。” Very well, please yourself. 好的，你自己随意。 11 [PHRASE 短语]不好，不能，没法（做…） If you say that you cannot very well do something, you mean that it would not be right or possible to do it.
