I thanked him an awful lot.
我非常地感谢他。

我想各位读者对于 a lot 这样的用法都不陌生。A lot 就是很多的意思，也就相当于 so many (用于可数名词)，或是 so much (用于不可数名词)。比方说今天本来晚餐是打算少吃点，没想到饭后妈妈居然又煮了红豆小汤圆，所以到头来还是吃太饱了。这种情况我就可以说，"I ate too much tonight." 或是 "I ate a lot today."。但是呢？老美光讲 a lot 还不过瘾，他们又把 a lot 这个片语，硬是加上一个 awful (恐怖的) 变成了 an awful lot，意即不但是很多，而且是「恐怖」地多。例□ p "I ate an awful lot." 就是说吃的东西多到恐怖的地步，可能肚子都胀起来了。
基本上，所有包含 a lot 的句子都可以加上一个 awful 而变成比较夸张的讲法。比方说吧，a awful lot 这样的用法常被用在表达自己的谢意或是感谢人家的帮忙时。例如，"I thanked him an awful lot." (我非常地感谢他。) 或者是 "I owe her an awful lot." (我亏欠她太多了。) 加上 awful 可以表现出一种发自内心，由衷地感谢对方的诚意。

Although the lottery for women had been banned by the church, the mid February holiday in commemoration of St. Valentine was still used by Roman men to seek the affection of women. It became a tradition for the men to give the ones they admired handwritten messages of affection, containing Valentine's name.

虽然为争得女人的抽奖已被教会取缔，但是这个2月中旬纪念圣瓦伦廷的节日仍被罗马男子延续下来，以赢得妇女的爱慕。男人将表达爱意并含有瓦伦廷名字的手写字条交给他们所钟爱的女子已成了一个传统。

Only a two-day paddle from roadhead, Cherry Lake lies relatively near civilization. Some visitors spend weeks seeking more remote and even more pristine sanctuaries islanded with towering pines and spruce. With few exceptions, Boundary Waters bans the use of motors, sails, portage wheels-even canned food. Purists exult in the transcendent attractions of nature untamed, of daily rhythms keyed to the sun's arc and the paddle's dip.

"从路的尽头只用划上两天的浆，便可到达离城市文明并不遥远的达奇尔瑞湖。一些游客在耸立着松树和云杉的小岛上消磨数星期的时光来寻求更多的清静和纯净的庇护。无甚例外的，在河界内，禁止使用机动轮座等现代工具，甚至是罐头。喜欢古朴天然的人们在这富有超凡吸引力的野性的自然中获得喜悦，每天的韵律就融合在太阳闪动的弧光和船桨的浸蘸拨水中。"

You Will Save Much More

"You will be pleased with me today, mother," said Dick to his mother, coming home from school. "I saved on fares. I didn't go to school by bus, I ran all the way after it."

"Well," said his mother laughing, "Next time you should run after a taxi, you will save much more."

你会省得更多

"妈妈，你今天一定会对我满意的，"迪克放学回家后对妈妈说，"我省下了车钱。我上学时没乘公共汽车，而是跟着公共汽车一路跑到学校的。"

"哦，"他妈妈笑着说，"下次你跟在出租汽车后面跑，那会省得更多。"
