Rather is not very common in NAmE ; pretty has the same meaning and this is used in informal BrE too. * quite 比 fairly 语气稍强，而 rather 又比 quite 语气稍强。在美式英语中，rather 不太常用。pretty 与 rather 含义相同，也用于非正式英式英语：◆The exam was pretty difficult.这场考试十分难。In BrE quite has two meanings.在英式英语中，quite 含义有二：◆I feel quite tired today(= fairly tired).今天我感到相当累。With adjectives that describe an extreme state ('non-gradable' adjectives) it means 'completely' or 'absolutely'.与表示极端状态的形容词（即非级差形容词）连用，意为完全地、绝对地：◆I feel quite exhausted.我感到筋疲力尽。With some adjectives, both meanings are possible.
