變化形
realer

1.
真的;實際存在的
指人、物、事件或情況確實存在或確有發生,不是想像、捏造或假的。
用法:常見於名詞前,如「真正的問題」;也可放在 be、seem、feel 等連綴動詞後,如「這是真的」。
Is this news story real, or was it made up?
這則新聞是真的,還是編出來的?
2.
真正的;名副其實的
指某人或某物具備該身分、類型或事物應有的特質,而不只是表面上像。

學習提示
・real 最核心的意思是「真的」,但要依語境分辨是「確實存在」、 「名副其實」,還是「十足的」。
・說「這是真的」可用 This is real.;若是詢問「真的嗎?」口語中更常說 Really?
・real 與 really 不可混用:real 修飾名詞或放在連綴動詞後;really 修飾動詞、形容詞或副詞。
