如:
It was rather a pity that you missed the wonderful concert. 你错过来这么动听的音乐会真遗憾。
The nurse was quite a dish. 那位护士完全是个美人儿。
如果改成了“quite/rather (相当) +a/an + (形容词) +名词”的用法,这里的rather和quite是不是就是修饰形容词的?
eg. It is quite a difficult problem.
“rather/quite a/an + 名词”中的rather和quite都视为状语,修饰的是名词短语。
状语可以修饰整个名词词组,可以用来加强语气,再如:
It's only an idea, but I thought we could try it out.
only是副词,修饰整个名词短语an idea,作状语。
“修饰整个名词词组”与“修饰名词”要区分开,比如:
You are the only person who can help me.
这里only则是形容词,修饰名词child,作定语。
