1. 相当;很;颇
You use quite to indicate that something is the case to a fairly great extent. Quite is less emphatic than 'very' and 'extremely'.

e.g. I felt quite bitter about it at the time...
当时我对这件事感到相当怨愤。
e.g. I was doing quite well, but I wasn't earning a lot of money...
我干得还算不错，可是挣的钱却不算多。

2. (用于强调所说的话)很，非常
You use quite to emphasize what you are saying.

e.g. It is quite clear that we were firing in self defence...
事实很清楚，我们开枪是出于自卫。
e.g. That's a general British failing. In the USA it's quite different...
那是英国人的普遍缺点。在美国，情况就大不一样了。

3. (与否定词连用，表示语气较弱或不确定)
You use quite after a negative to make what you are saying weaker or less definite.

e.g. Something here is not quite right...
这里有什么地方不太对劲。
e.g. After treatment he was able to continue but he was never quite the same...
治疗之后他又可以继续下去了，可是再也恢复不到从前的状态了。

4. （用于名词词组前，表示强调）出众的，了不起的，不同寻常的
You use quite in front of a noun group to emphasize that a person or thing is very impressive or unusual.

quite的意思

e.g. 'Oh, he's quite a character,' Sean replied...
“喔，他真是个了不起的人，”肖恩回答说。
e.g. It's quite a city, Boston.
波士顿，真是一座伟大的城市。

5. 正是这样;确实如此
You can say 'quite' to express your agreement with someone.

e.g. 'And if you buy the record it's your choice isn't it.' — 'Quite'...
“如果你买这张唱片，那是你的选择，不是吗？”——“可不是嘛。”
e.g. 'I won't say over the air who it is.' — 'No, quite.'
“我不会在电话里说出那个人是谁。”——“对，的确应该这样。”

You can use quite in front of a or an when it is followed by an adjective plus noun. For example, you can say 'It's quite an old car' as well as 'The car is quite old', and 'It was quite a warm day' as well as 'The day was quite warm'. Note that, in sentences like these, quite comes in front of the indefinite article. You cannot say, for example, 'It's a quite old car'. Quite can be used to modify adjectives and adverbs, and is slightly stronger than fairly but less strong than very. Quite may suggest that something has more of a quality than expected. Nobody here's ever heard of it but it is actually quite common. Take care not to confuse quite and quiet.
quite 可以用于 a 或 an 后接形容词加名词的结构之前。例如，可以说 It's quite an old car (这是一辆很旧的车)，也可以说 The car is quite old (这辆车很旧了)；可以说 It was quite a warm day (那是相当暖和的一天)，也可以说 The day was quite warm (那天很暖和)。需要注意的是，在此类句子中，quite 置于不定冠词的前面，例如不可以说It's a quite old car。quite 可以修饰形容词和副词，其程度稍强于 fairly，但弱于 very。quite 可以表示某事物比预料中更加具备某特点，例如，Nobody here's ever heard of it but it is actually quite common (这里没有人听说过它，但是它实际上颇为常见)。注意不要混淆 quite 与 quiet。

1. (十分)：资料介绍:通过滑稽的语言 教学生如何背英语单词, 例如quiet street说,我向来便是十分(quite)宁

2. 相当：last=持续; | quite =相当; | second=秒.

3. 很：prefer宁愿 | quite很 | remove迁移

词语用法：

adv.(副词)

• quite可用作加强语气的强势词,意思相当于汉语的“完全,十分”,常与没有比较级的形容词(如correct, unique等)以及表示极度的形容词或副词(如amazing, unbelievable, brilliantly等)连用。
• quite还可用作减弱语气的词,常与有比较级的形容词、副词连用,以改变这些词的强弱程度,意思是“不完全”,相当于汉语里的“还算,或多或少,差不多”。
• not quite意为“不完全地”,用来表示很小的差异,一般与没有比较级的形容词(如full, perfect等)连用。
• quite用来修饰作定语的形容词时,一般置于冠词之前,有时也可放在不定冠词a的后面,但只有当名词前有形容词时才能这样用; 严格地说, quite a用于修饰全句, a quite用于修饰单词。
• quite还可用作答语,意思是“同意,不错”“对的”,尤其用在英式英语中,此时quite相当于叹词。
• quite还可以修饰动词、分词及介词短语等。
