Re: Leaning Tower of Pisa Hi, susan53, I want to ask one more thing, OK?
It is about "huge".
From your lesson in the previous post,
I thought that the adjective "huge" is used for non-living things.
I thought that "a huge man" sounds unnatural because of collocation.
Yet, I found it in a novel written by Sidney Sheldon, The Chase. "The chauffeur was a huge, ugly man named Higashi, who was built like a wrestler".
In the novel, Sidney Sheldon used the word "huge" quite many times.
I wonder he had preference to the word?
What do you think about the bold sentence above?
Thank you. |
