Though actually, people do stretch it a bit ('immensely popular', 'immensely helpful'), and nobody thinks of a giant object then — they think of degree. It is ordinary English, not slang and not stiff; teachers, books, and everyday speech all use it.
Though actually不過其實 people do stretch it a bit大家確實會稍微延伸這個字 ('immensely popular', 'immensely helpful')(像「immensely受歡迎」「immensely有幫助」) and nobody thinks of a giant object then這時候沒有人會想到一個巨大的物體 — they think of degree他們想到的是程度。It is ordinary English這是普通的英文 not slang and not stiff不是俚語,也不生硬; teachers, books, and everyday speech all use it老師、書本和日常對話都會用到
If you only need a small word, 'so much' or 'a lot' will do; immensely just turns the volume up.
If you only need a small word如果你只需要一個小一點的字 'so much' or 'a lot' will do用「so much」或「a lot」就夠了; immensely just turns the volume up而immensely只是把音量調大而已
