提到“完全”、“彻底”，你的脑海中是否只会闪现all、completely、entirely一类的单词?其实外国的小伙伴们还有更丰富的词汇，来表达他们强烈的语气呢~
1. Every inch
不说all，你也可以用every inch(每一寸)来表示“完完全全地，整个地”。
例：With his new suit on, he looks every inch a businessman.
穿上新西装，他看上去完全是个商人了。
2. Through and through
Through本身有“完全的”、“彻底的”意思， through and through就更能加强这种语气了。
例：I know him through and through, and he would never do such a cowardly thing.
我对他十分了解，他绝不会这么懦弱。
3. Root and branch
这个短语把树根和树杈都说全了，用来形容“彻彻底底”再合适不过了。
例：The laws were reformed root and branch.
法律法规经历了彻底的改革。
4. To the core
Core有“核心”之意，to the core则表示“彻底”、“十足”。
例：Her family is English to the core.
她家都是地道的英国人。
5. From head to toe
除了用树根树杈来描述“全部”，歪果仁还会用上面这个短语来表示“全身”、“从头到脚”，也可以用来形容“彻头彻尾”。
例：I admire them from head to toe!
我对他们佩服得五体投地!
