terrifically
空格修飾形容詞 easy,須用程度副詞 terrifically,表示非常容易使用。terrific 是形容詞,terrify 是動詞原形,terrified 是過去式或過去分詞,也可作形容詞;三者都不能在此充當修飾 easy 的程度副詞。
同義改寫
You did a terrific job organizing the staff workshop. → You did an excellent job organizing the staff workshop.
此處 terrific 與 excellent 都強烈肯定工作表現,改寫保留對工作坊安排成果的稱讚。
The construction work next door made a terrific noise during our meeting. → The construction work next door made an extremely loud noise during our meeting.
terrific 在此強調噪音的強度,改為 extremely loud 保留聲音非常大的意思,並非稱讚聲音好聽。
