awful的用法和辨析

Neil:
So we can use "dead" to mean "really" or "very"?
Feifei:
That's right. 在英式口语里，我们可以用 "dead" 来加强一个形容词的语气。比如：我刚才说的 "dead tired"，这里用 "dead" 加强 "tired" 的语气，所表达的意思就是 “特别累”。
Neil:
Well, that's dead confusing — perhaps we should take a look at some examples.
Examples
Is it lunchtime yet? I'm dead hungry!
The man sat next to me on the train this morning kept falling asleep on my shoulder — it was dead annoying!
I was dead happy when I passed my driving test!
Feifei:
这里是 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》节目。在这集节目里，我们给大家讲解 "dead" 这个词一个鲜为人知的用法和意思。"Dead" 是 "alive" 的反义词，意思是 “死亡的，去世的”。但在英式口语中，尤其是英格兰北部的人，会经常把 “dead” 用在形容词前，加强语气，强调他们的话语。Could you tell us a time when you were dead happy, Neil?
Neil:
Well, when I woke up this morning and found I had another hour until my alarm went off! I was dead thrilled!
Feifei:
Not quite. You were dead happy, but not dead thrilled! You can't use "dead" with extreme adjectives. 在使用的时候要记住："dead" 不可以用在极限形容词前。
Neil:
Oh, OK, so you can say "dead cold", but not "dead freezing", or "dead good", but not "dead fantastic".
Feifei:
That was a dead good explanation, Neil! I see you have woken up a bit now, but I'm still dead tired.
Neil:
Well, how about you make us both a coffee while I finish the programme — it's your turn to make the coffees!
Feifei:
Err, no, Neil — I always make the coffee! I'll go make a coffee for me, not you, while you finish the programme!
Neil:
Uh-oh. I'd best go and make the coffees then! She's dead sensitive when she hasn't slept enough! Well, bye, everyone, and see you next time!
