用法筆記
Distinguish from sense 1 (TOTAL / UNQUALIFIED): sense 1 modifies abstract nouns (support, apology, admiration) to indicate the degree or completeness of the feeling. Sense 3 only applies to a person or their manner of expression — it describes how openly someone communicates, not how much of a feeling they have. Even when used with a shared noun like 'praise' or 'criticism', sense 3 requires an animate subject whose directness is the focus, whereas sense 1 treats the noun as a quantity.
