1 -terrible o terrific?-
Nota d'usoAttenzione a non confondere terrible e terrific. Terrific non si usa mai per cose orribili e spaventose, non significa “terrificante”; si utilizza per descrivere cose fantastiche, stupende: have a terrific time on holidays! passa delle vacanze grandiose! Il significato principale di terrible è “spaventoso, terribile”: to suffer terribile injuries, riportare tremende ferite; to have a terribile headache, avere un mal di testa terribile. Terrible e terrific si utilizzano pure per enfatizzare qualcosa, il primo soprattutto in tono di disapprovazione: a terribile waste of money, una perdita di denaro tremenda; il secondo solitamente in tono di approvazione: There's a terrific amount of information available on the Internet, c'è una grandiosa quantità di informazioni disponibili in Internet. -
