is not quite there 的意思是,未達到一個程度、或預期的水準。反過來說,is there 就是指達到一定的程度。not quite there 的 quite,是「完全」、「相當」的意思。在沒有達到一個程度、或目標時,就可以用 not quite there。 例句: We haven't had a conversation yet. We're not quite there yet after our fight. (我們還沒有對話。在爭吵過後,我們還達不到那個程度。) = We're not completely at the point of being able to have a conversation yet after our fight. (我們在爭吵過後,還達不到重新對話的程度。) 例句: The movie isn't quite there for production. (那部電影還不到製作的程度。) 例句: Society will get there one day. (社會有一天會達到一個程度。)
