Most of us know one of more people for whom every occasion is "memorable", every problem is a "crisis", every enjoyavbble film is "worthy of an Academy Award nomination", and every attractive new car or fashion is "incomparable". To such people nothing is merely good or bad - it is the best or worst. Their vocabulary is filled with superlatives. When someone is late for an appointment with them, they wait an "eternity". When they go to the dentist, the pain is "unbearable". Their debts are "titanic".
我们大多数人都认识一个或多个这样的人：对他们来说，每一个场合都是“难忘的”，每一个问题都是“一场危机”，每一部令人愉快的电影“都值得奥斯卡提名”，每一辆吸引人的新车或时尚都是“无与伦比的”。对这些人来说，没有什么仅仅是好或坏-而是最好或最坏。他们的词汇中充满了最高级。当某人约会迟到时，他们会“等待很久”。当他们去看牙医时，疼痛“难以忍受”。他们“负债累累”。
