Very, very — a formal way of turning up a describing word: exceedingly rare, exceedingly difficult, exceedingly polite. It is close to extremely in meaning, but it sounds older and more careful, the voice of a report, a legal document, or a nineteenth-century novel.

Very, very就是非常、非常——a formal way of turning up a describing word是把形容詞加強的正式說法：exceedingly rare, exceedingly difficult, exceedingly polite像exceedingly rare、exceedingly difficult、exceedingly polite。It is close to extremely in meaning意思上接近extremely，but it sounds older and more careful但聽起來比較老派、比較講究，the voice of a report, a legal document, or a nineteenth-century novel像報告、法律文件，或十九世紀小說的口吻。

Because of that flavour, native speakers today also use it lightly, half-joking, to sound grand: "an exceedingly good cake". (A famous British advert for Mr Kipling cakes used exactly that line, which is why it sounds funny to British ears.) It goes in front of adjectives and adverbs, not in front of nouns or verbs — exceedingly slow, exceedingly slowly, but never "I exceedingly like it".

Because of that flavour因為有這種味道，native speakers today also use it lightly, half-joking, to sound grand現在母語者也會半開玩笑地輕鬆用它，聽起來很誇張氣派："an exceedingly good cake"像「an exceedingly good cake」這樣。(A famous British advert for Mr Kipling cakes used exactly that line有支很有名的英國Mr Kipling蛋糕廣告就用了一模一樣的句子，which is why it sounds funny to British ears所以英國人聽起來會覺得好笑。) It goes in front of adjectives and adverbs它放在形容詞和副詞前面，not in front of nouns or verbs不放在名詞或動詞前面——exceedingly slow, exceedingly slowly像exceedingly slow、exceedingly slowly，but never "I exceedingly like it"但絕對不會說「I exceedingly like it」。

In everyday speech, really or so does the same job with none of the stiffness.

In everyday speech在日常口語裡，really or so does the same job用really或so就有一樣的效果，with none of the stiffness而且不會那麼生硬。
