6.（表示同意或接受）当然，的确

People sometimes sayrather to express agreement or acceptance.

Rather,pretty,quite, andfairly can all be used to modify adjectives and adverbs, but are all less strong thanvery.Rather andpretty are the strongest of these words and are the closest tovery.Pretty, in this sense, is informal. Therefore, if you said to someone, 'Your work is pretty good' or 'Your work is rather good', they would bemore likely to be pleased than if you said 'Your work is quite good' or 'Your work is fairly good'. However,rather is commonly used with words indicating negative qualities.I was feeling rather sad. It is theonly one of these words than can be usedwith comparatives, and withtoo. Global warming could be rather worse than we think it will be... He was becoming rather too friendly with my ex-boyfriend.Quite is slightly stronger thanfairly, and may suggest that something has more of a quality than expected. Nobody here's ever heard of it but it is actually quite common.

rather, pretty, quite 和 fairly 都可以用于修饰形容词和副词，但是它们都没有very的程度强。rather 和 pretty 在这4个词中程度最强，意思和very最接近。表达这个意思时pretty是非正式说法。因此，如果对某人说Your work is pretty good（你干得非常好）或Your work is rather good（你干得相当好）要比说Your work is quite good（你干得很不错）或Your work is fairly good（你干得还不错）更令他高兴。但是，rather 往往和有消极意义的词连用，如：I was feeling rather sad（我觉得很难过）。在这些词中唯有rather可以和比较级或too连用。如：Global warming could be rather worse than we think it will be（全球变暖可能比我们想象的更加严重），He was becoming rather too friendly with my ex-boyfriend（他和我的前男友好得有些过了头）。quite比fairly的程度稍强一些，表示某物有些超乎人们的期望。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）。四、例句

Poultry is rather cheap now.

现在的禽肉相当便宜。

I would rather stay at home.

我宁可呆在家里。

I would rather fail than cheat in the examination.

我宁愿考不及格，也不愿意考试作弊。
