4 be quit of something:
British English formal to no longer have to suffer or be involved with something bad:
e.g. The people now long to be quit of war.
而我查牛津電子辭典查到 be quit of sth 的例句:
I'd like to be quit of the responsibility.
那麼,be quit of sth 的sth是否形容something bad?

另一個生字:progressive Longman網上辭典解釋:supporting new or modern ideas and methods, especially in politics and education

progressive: Cambridge 網上辭典解釋:describes ideas or systems which are new and modern, encouraging change in society or in the way that things are done 但Cambridge的解釋沒有說明especially in politics and education 那麼,這個字有沒有especially in politics and education這個意思?

此外,我查字典常發現有些字是專用來形容特定的情況 [ 類似progressive這個字(若especially in politics and education是對) ] , 是否必須尊守這個限定,如果我寫a progressive technology豈不是錯?
