1. pretty用作副词,主要用于非正式场合的口语中,一般用作减弱语,即针对于一定标准而在程度上有所减弱,可修饰使人产生好感的词,也可修饰产生恶感的词。另一方面, pretty又可作为形容词或副词的强化语。究竟是减弱抑或强化,须根据上下文而定。

1. pretty着重指女性适度的美,指娇小可爱,侧重表面的吸引力或部分的美。语气较beautiful弱,且大多用来指年轻的女性,一般不用来描写成年男性。

2. pretty也作副词，但只可以修饰其他形容词或副词，表示“颇…”。绝不能修饰动词，否则副词形势应该是prettily。如在sit pretty（处于有利形势）的用法中，pretty是表语，没有修饰动词；
3. 与其他表示“颇”的副词的区别：fairly仅指“相当”，程度较轻，修饰形容词、副词。quite程度较fairly稍重，修饰形容词、副词、动词和名词。rather要更重一些，修饰形容词、副词、动词和名词。pretty和rather程度相仿，但仅修饰形容词和副词，而且不正式。
