同義改寫
The new filing system drastically reduced the time needed to find archived documents. → The new filing system reduced the time needed to find archived documents by a very large amount.
by a very large amount 保留 drastically 所強調的大幅減少程度。
The office layout changed drastically when the company added two meeting rooms. → The office layout changed to a very great extent when the company added two meeting rooms.
to a very great extent 同樣強調格局改變的程度很大，沒有額外加入改變速度的意思。
