英语中有两种副词,一种与形容词同形,另一种由相同的形容词加后缀-ly构成。这两种不同形式的副词,有些含义相同,有些略有不同,有些则完全不同。现将其主要意义和用法归纳如下:
1. clean, cleanly
副词 clean 意为“径直地”、“完全地”。例如:
The bullet went clean through his arm. 子弹整个儿穿过他的胳膊。
I clean forgot about it. 我完全忘掉了这件事。
副词 cleanly 意为“干净利落地”。例如:
This knife doesn’t cut cleanly. 这把刀切起来不利落。
2. close, closely
副词 close 意为“近”。例如:
He lives close to the school. 他住得离学校很近。
He was following close behind. 他紧跟在后面。
副词 closely 意为“紧密地”、“严密地”。例如:
Watch what I do closely. 细心地观察我的做法。
The prisoners were closely guarded. 这些罪犯被严加看管。
3. dead, deadly
副词 dead 意为“突然地,完全地“。例如:
She stopped dead. 她突然停下了。
在非正式语体中, dead 意为“完全地”、“直接地”。例如:
He was dead tired. 他极为疲劳。
The wind was dead against us. 那时风正对着我们吹来。
副词 deadly 表示“死一般地”或“非常”之意,如: deadly dull(极为枯燥), deadly pale(死人般地苍白), deadly serious(极端严重)。
4. easy, easily
副词 easy 意为“容易地”、“安然”,只出现在某些固定搭配中。例如:
Take it easy. 慢慢来,别急。
Go easy. 别急。
Easy come, easy go. 来得容易去得快。
Easier said than done. 说起来容易做起来难。
Stand easy. 稍息。
副词 easily 意为“容易地”、“轻易地”、“顺利地”。例如:
I can easily finish it today. 今天我能容易地做完这件事。
He is not easily satisfied. 叫他心满意足,不容易。
5. high, highly
high 用作副词时,意为“高”、“高高地”,常出现在下列搭配中: aim high(力争上游), hold one’s head high(趾高气扬), play high(大赌,豪赌), search high and low(搜索), run high(浪大,激动), fly high(有雄心)等。
副词 highly 意为“高度地”,通常指抽象的“高”。例如:
He spoke highly of her. 他高度地赞扬她。
6. right, rightly
副词 right 意为“正当地”、“正好”、“向右”,用以修饰副词或介词短语,在句中作状语。例如:
He’s right here. 他就在这里。
Go right home at once. 你马上直接回家吧。
It serves you right. 你活该。
Nothing seems to go right with me. 一切对我都不顺利。
副词 rightly 意为“正确地”、“恰当地”、“适当地”。例如:
He was rightly furious at the decision. 他对那个决定大发雷霆,这是很自然的。
在个别情况下, right 和 rightly可以通用,但 right 一般置于动词之后,含义较广; rightly 一般置于动词之前或助动词和主要动词之间,含义较窄。例如:
Turn right. 向右转。
It is rightly said that time is money. 俗话说得好,一寸光阴一寸金。
7. slow, slowly
slow 用作副词时,仅用于 go slow,相当于 work slowly。例如:
The workers decided to go slow. 工人们决定消极怠工。
副词 slowly 意为“慢慢地”。例如:
How slowly the time passes! 时间过得真慢啊!
Drive slowly onto the ferry. 慢慢朝渡口驶去。
8. free, freely
free 作副词用时,意为“无偿地”、“免费地”。例如:
Children under the height of 1.10 meters usually travel free on trains. 身高1.10米以下的孩子通常免费乘火车。
副词 freely 意为“自由地”、“无拘无束地”、“坦诚地”、“自愿地”。例如:
Water flowed freely from the pipe. 水在管子里自由流动。
It may require courage to speak freely. 要有勇气才能直言不讳。
