1.You know what I want to get all of you to respond to this first question because it's the one that had us all talking and we were pretty surprised about the fact that those who scored highest were atheists and agnostics.

fairly, quite, rather, very, pretty 用法区别 一、含义上的区别1. 这几个副词都可表示程度，fairly 语气最轻，尽管经常与褒义词连用，但由于语气较弱，往往不带明显的恭维或赞赏，通常译为“还算”、“相当”相当 fairly good，指的可能是还勉强过得去，只是没有否定。2. quite 语气稍重，意为“颇”或“相当”。要是说某一部电影quite good，那是说这部电影相当不错，虽不是最好，但至少值得看。3. rather 或 pretty 在语气上又稍重一点，意为“十分”或“相当”(pretty 不如 rather 正式)。要是说某一部电影 rather / pretty good，指的是这电影相当不错，语气比较重，意指要高出一般水平或出乎意料地好。两者均可与褒义或贬义形容词连用。与褒义词连用，表示一种愉快的心情，与贬义(包括不褒不贬)词连用，表示一种不赞成或不满意的心情。如：She looked rather [quite] nervous. 她显得相当紧张。It’s a rather [quite] interesting book. 它是一本相当有趣的书。She looked rather [quite] disappointed about it. 她对此显得相当失望。4. very 语气最强，意为“很”或“或非常”。 要是说某一部电影very good，这是说这部电影很不错，算得上是精品之作。以上几个副词按语气的轻重可大致描述为：(not) → fairly → quite → rather / pretty → very
