作家们是这样吐槽very的：
Mark Twain：Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very;’ your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
马克·吐温：每次想要用very的时候就用damn代替吧;你的编辑会直接帮你删掉它，这样文章才是它该有的样子。
Florence King: 'Very' is the most useless word in the English language and can always come out. More than useless, it is treacherous because it invariably weakens what it is intended to strengthen.
弗罗伦斯·金：very是英文中最没用的单词，但又总是会出现。比起无用，它简直就是个隐患，因为它总会削弱你想强调的那个词。
N.H. Kleinbaum：So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do.
N·H·克莱伯姆：不要使用very这个词，因为用它就是偷懒。用morose代替very sad。语言的作用只有一个，小子们，就是用来哄女孩的。如果偷懒的话，怎么哄得到!
45个单词摆脱very：当你想在黑色的词(见下表)前加上very时，请用红色的词代替，不要再用very啦。
