    When something happens enormously, it happens to a very large degree — not a little, not even 'quite a lot'. People use it to make very feel bigger and warmer: enormously popular, enormously expensive, enormously grateful, it helped enormously.

    When something happens enormously當一件事enormously發生, it happens to a very large degree意思是程度非常大 — not a little, not even 'quite a lot'——不是一點點,甚至不只是「相當多」。 People use it to make very feel bigger and warmer大家用它讓very聽起來更誇張、更有溫度: enormously popular, enormously expensive, enormously grateful, it helped enormously像enormously popular(超受歡迎)、enormously expensive(超貴)、enormously grateful(超感激)、it helped enormously(幫助非常大)。

    It comes from enormous, which first talks about huge size, but as an adverb it has mostly left the tape-measure behind. A room can be enormous; you would not usually call the room itself 'enormously' unless you mean the degree of some quality (enormously bright, enormously noisy).

    It comes from enormous這個字來自enormous, which first talks about huge sizeenormous原本講的是體積很大, but as an adverb it has mostly left the tape-measure behind但當副詞用的時候,已經幾乎離開了「量尺寸」這件事。 A room can be enormous一個房間可以是enormous的; you would not usually call the room itself 'enormously'但通常不會用「enormously」形容房間本身 unless you mean the degree of some quality除非你講的是某種特質的程度 (enormously bright, enormously noisy)(像enormously bright超亮、enormously noisy超吵)。

    It is a little more formal and a little more dramatic than very or really, though actually friends do say it when they want to sound strongly pleased, not cold and scientific. It does not mean 'too much' the way does, and it is not a complaint by itself; it just means 'a huge amount'.

    It is a little more formal and a little more dramatic than very or really這個字比very或really更正式一點、更誇張一點, though actually friends do say it when they want to sound strongly pleased不過朋友之間想表現出強烈開心的時候也真的會這樣說, not cold and scientific不是那種冷冷的、科學式的用法。 It does not mean 'too much' the way excessively does它不像excessively那樣帶有「太過頭」的意思, and it is not a complaint by itself單獨用它也不算抱怨; it just means 'a huge amount'它就只是「非常多」的意思。
