英语语法入门：方式副词

遇见明天

Adverbs of manner are usually formed from adjectives by adding –ly:

方式副词通常是其形容词后直接加-ly形成的：

bad > badly; quiet > quietly; recent > recently; sudden > suddenly

but there are sometimes changes in spelling:

但有的时候在拼写上会有一些改变：

easy > easily; gentle > gently

If an adjective ends in –ly we use the phrase in a …. way to express manner:

若一个形容词以-ly结尾，我们用短语in a ... way来表示“用……方式”：

Silly > He behaved in a silly way.

Friendly > She spoke in a friendly way.

A few adverbs of manner have the same form as the adjective:

一些方式副词与形容词的形式一样：

They all worked hard.

She usually arrives late.

I hate driving fast.

Note: hardly and lately have different meanings:

注意：hardly 和 lately 有不同的含义：

He could hardly walk = It was difficult for him to walk.

I haven’t seen John lately = I haven’t seen John recently.

We often use phrases with like as adverbials of manner:

我们经常用like短语作为方式状语：

She slept like a baby.

He ran like a rabbit.

Adverbs of manner and link verbs

We very often use adverbials with like after link verbs:

我们经常在系动词后，用like短语作状语：

Her hands felt like ice.

It smells like fresh bread.

But we do not use other adverbials of manner after link verbs. We use adjectives instead:

但是我们不用其他方式状语与系动词连用，而以形容词代替：

They looked happily happy.

That bread smells deliciously delicious.
