Quite is by far the most frequent in spoken British English, but it is not used so frequently in this meaning in American English. Totally is the most frequent in spoken American English. In written English the most frequently used terms are completely and, in more formal contexts, fully. Entirely is also rather formal, used especially in negative sentences and in the phrase almost entirely. Perfectly is less formal, used especially in spoken English. Utterly is not usually used in negative sentences, but it is often used when the idea being expressed is one of failure or impossibility. 这些词的主要区别不在于语义，而在于语体风格。quite最常用于英式英语口语，但表达此义时不太常用于美式英语。totally最常用于美式英语口语。在书面语中最常用的是completely和fully，后者用于较正式的语境。entirely亦较正式，尤用于否定句和短语almost entirely中。perfectly不太正式，尤用于口语。utterly通常不用于否定句，但常用于事情不成功或不可能的情况。
