Hiner  +  965001 Sun, 08 Nov 09 09:15 AM For example, when there is a sentence: "People go to Australia for pure enjoyment." I see this sentence in a text talking about the nice places in Australia. It aims to attract tourists, I know. But, what exactly does it mean? Does the word "pure" mean "complete"? Is it equal to "excellent enjoyment"? Any comments would be helpful, thanks! Any rephrasing of the sentence will be even more helpful. Hiner Joined on Sun, Nov 8 2009 New Member 02 Sentences, Speaking, Chat, Friendships

	Ter  +  965031 Sun, 08 Nov 09 10:19 AM The word "pure" is used for emphasis (emotive language). When we say something is pure, it implies that "that something" is at its best. It doesn't have any impure elements in it. Think of a diamond. A pure diamond would be just pure diamond without any other substances. Pure water is water that isn't polluted. So when we say "pure entertainment", it means it's entertainment at its best. You won't be disappointed by anything. "Pure entertainment", you'd say it's the usual advertising language.

	Hiner  +  965131 Sun, 08 Nov 09 01:26 PM Thanks for your reply! It does clarify a lot of things. So, can I express the same meaning with "People go to Australia for the best enjoyment."? Or "People go to Australia for complete satisfaction." Or what would you suggest? Hiner

	Ter  +  965831 Mon, 09 Nov 09 05:50 AM "best enjoyment" sounds unnatural to me.. Maybe "greatest / great enjoyment". "complete satisfaction" sounds ok, but "great" might be better.  "Complete" usually implies something in a certain context, but the context here is more general than specific. Ter Context
