新概念三册里的例句：

L28: I felt especially pleased with my wonderful bargain -- until I got back to the ship.

L47: Lawn mowers whining on a summer's day, late-night parties in apartment blocks, noisy neighbors, vehicles of al kinds, especially large container trucks thundering through quiet village, planes and helicopters flying overhead, large radios carried round in public places and played at maximum volume.

L47: A lot of people object to mobile phones, especially when they are used in public places like restaurants or on public transport.

L54: We enjoy reading about them, especially when we find that, like the praying mantis, they lead perfectly horrible lives.

L54: I am especially proud of it, not only because it has survived several severe winters, but because it occasionally produces luscious peaches.

四、“略” ：QUITE

为了贴合英语语言的严谨性，有时我们也强调事物的相对非完全性。例如在表示“略微”、“稍微”或“比较”的意思时常用以下搭配。

a bit （一点a bit of luck 稍微a little bit cold）

a little （= bit 注意little单用= scarcely表示“很少”、“几乎不”）

a spot （一点例如L58 A spot of bother一点小麻烦）

comparatively （比较 He is comparatively low to she in social status）

mildly （略微 He was just mildly interested in the topic.）
