发帖数: 1679 | 2 我知道字面意思是“很，真得，相当。。。”， 但感情色彩是什么？是不是negative
的用rather当副词比较好？

发帖数: 1679 | 4 知道啊，我想搞清楚RATHER是不是和表示negative（不好的）一起用。。。
或者这样说，你会证明评价什么东西it's rather fantastic吗？

when something has surpassed your expectations you could use "rather".
so you could say something is "rather interesting", if originally you
thought it wouldn't be as much.

发帖数: 734 | 6 "rather" has several meanings. You've seemed to have mixed up two of them.
from 梁實秋:
rather, adverb
1 寧可，寧願 "He would rather stay at home."
2 更合理，更恰當 "This is rather for your father to decide than for you."
3 更正確地說，更確實 "It was late Monday night or, rather, early Tuesday
morning."
4 頗，有幾分 "She felt rather tired."
5 反之，相反地 "The sick man is no better today; rather he is worse."
"had rather..." = "prefer to..." = 寧願。。。= 還是。。。的好
"I had rather dance than eat."
"would rather..." = "had rather", but more formal usage
rather, interjection
當然，一定，怎麼不
"Is it worth going to? Rather!"

发帖数: 1679 | 7 那我的例句里，应该是第4个解释。
我同意版主的说法，when it means "somewhat","quite"的时候，是带有负面的，或者
和原来想象不同的感情色彩的。
I expected to become more free, but instead I feel rather tied...
这里的instead，更好的烘托了这种“和预想不同的”的感情。。。

发帖数: 734 | 8 更準確地說，應該是帶有反面的，但並不一定是負面的。
I though I was going to be down with the flu
for a few days, but now my fever is gone and
I feel rather good.
The weather forecast said it would rain today,
but the sky has been rather clear all day.
