Errors in the Use of Adjectives

形容词的误用

　　3．形容词重叠使用不当

　　Example:

　　Wrong：同学很高高兴兴地走出教师去了。

　　Right：同学高高兴兴地走出教师去了。

　　“高高兴兴”is the reduplicative form of “高兴”serving here as an adverbial adjunct to describe the state of the action (“走”)。Reduplicated adjectives express intensification,andcan no longer be modified by an adverb of degree like “很”.Thus,“很”in nthe sentence should be deleted.

　　Example:

　　Wrong：他的房间收拾的干干净净极了。

　　Right：他的房间收拾的干干净净。

　　When the reduplicative form of an adjective such as “干干净净”is used as a degree complement,it can not be followed by other words indicating degree.“极了”must be deleted.

　　Example:

　　Wrong：这件工艺品做得细细致致。

　　Right：这件工艺品做得细致。

　　An incorporate adjective in co-ordinate structure describing the proerty of a thing can not be reduplicated.We change“细细致致”into“细致”.
