摘要:"I'm kind of tired."(我有点累。)"It's kinda expensive."(这有点贵。)
(1) 修饰形容词/副词(表程度)
"I'm kind of tired."(我有点累。)"It's kinda expensive."(这有点贵。)(2) 修饰动词
"I kind of like him."(我有点喜欢他。)"She kinda knows the truth."(她多少知道真相。)(3) 模糊描述(避免绝对化)
"It's kind of a secret."(这算是个秘密吧。)"He's kind of a genius."(他算是个天才。)委婉表达:
"Your idea is kind of... weird."(比直接说"weird"更礼貌)
自我纠正:
"It's blue—well, kind of blue-green."
拖延思考:
"I feel kind of... you know... confused."
❌ 混淆"a kind of"(一种):
"This is a kind of bird."(这是一种鸟 → 分类)
"This bird is kind of cute."(这鸟有点可爱 → 程度)
kind of 是语言缓冲垫,
让生硬的表达变柔软!
(小测试:改写 "This movie is slightly scary." 用 kind of → "This movie is kind of scary.")
