1. full; 2. abundantly; 3. deficiency; 4. abundance;

I laughed incredibly hard last night.
我笑得很夸张。

讲话夸张，表情丰富的人总是比较受欢迎的，这是我多年来慢慢累积出来的心得。记得上次跟一群美国朋友去看电影，回来之后别人问我们这部电影好不好看。我是觉得蛮好笑的，所以我就平铺直述地说，"It was fun. I like it." (很好笑，我很喜欢。) 但是当他问另一个美国人时，那个美国人的回答则是，" I laughed incredibly hard last night. I almost died." (我笑得很夸张，差点没笑死。) 当场我就觉得自己被比下去了，因为你光听他的回答，都可以深深地感觉到这部电影有多么地有趣。 另外，跟前一句话意思很相似，而且在美国也常听到的还有一种讲法，叫 "I almost died laughing." 翻译成中文就是「我差点没笑死」的意思。

从这件事上我学到的心得是，1. incredibly 是个很好用的副词，三不五时可以拿出来加强自己说话的语气 2. "I almost died." 是句很有戏剧效果的话，如果一句话说完自己觉得不够夸张，立刻在句末加上一句，"I almost died." 或是 "I almost died +V-ing" 立刻就有划龙点睛之效。比方说吧，你要跟美国人强调昨晚去吃的 "All-you-can-eat buffet" 实在是太好吃了，害我实在是吃得太饱太饱了。如果平铺直述的话，就是 "I was so full last night." 但是呢？如果你把之前学到的句法活用一下，就变成了，"I was incredibly full last night. I almost died." 效果是不是差很多呢？
