程度衝出常規:極其、非常
這一支是把「跑出常規之外」用在「量」上——不是方向不對,而是走得太遠。
extremely · r · B2
extremely — used before an adjective or another adverb to say that something is true to a much greater degree than usual.
極其;非常
You can think of it as a word that points past the edge of the ordinary. Whatever line marks 'normal' for a thing, this word says the thing has gone out beyond that line — so far out that you notice it. Everything else follows from which way it goes out: further up (much more than usual) or simply off to one side (not like it usually is).
From Latin extraordinarius, 'out of (extra) the usual order (ordo, ordinem)' — literally outside the regular arrangement of things.
來自拉丁文 extraordinarius,由 extra(在…之外)+ ordo/ordinem(常規、次序)組成,字面是「在常規次序之外」。這個字根到今天還撐著整個字:不管是「非常」還是「反常」,講的都還是同一件事——它不在一般的次序裡面。
