    Which Word? quite / fairly / rather / prettyquite / fairly / rather / prettyLook at these examples:看下列例句：
      • The exam was fairly difficult.这场考试颇难。
      • The exam was quite difficult.这场考试相当难。
      • The exam was rather difficult.这场考试十分难。
    • Quite is a little stronger than fairly, and rather is a little stronger than quite. Rather is not very common in North American English; pretty has the same meaning and this is used in informal British English too:
      • The exam was pretty difficult.这场考试十分难。
    • In British English quite has two meanings:
      • I feel quite tired today今天我感到相当累。
      (= fairly tired). 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. The speaker’s stress and intonation will show you which is meant:与某些形容词连用，两种含义均有可能，究竟属于哪一种由说话者的重音和语调决定：
      • Your essay is quite good你的文章还不错（挺好，不过可以更好）；
      (= fairly good—it could be better);
      • Your essay is quite good你的文章还不错（挺好，不过可以更好）；
      (= very good, especially when this is unexpected).
    • In North American English quite usually means something like ‘very’, not ‘fairly’ or ‘rather’. Pretty is used instead for this sense.
