英語“-ly”副詞與其同源副詞的用法比較:英語中有一些表示方式、程度的副詞具有兩種形式。如late,lately;high,highly;slow,showly等等。在這些詞當中,兩種不同形式所表達的含義有的完全不同,有的很相似,而有的卻完全一致。這就給人們使用這些詞時帶來一定的麻煩。特別是在學生中間,總免不了使用時的混淆。筆者想就此問題分類作一點探討。
(一)本類詞有hard,hardly;late,lately;most,mostly等等,這兩種副詞形式含義完全不同,所以,使用時不易引起混淆。
1.He works hard all day.他整天都在使勁地幹活。
He hardly works at all.他很少幹活。
2.You have come too late.你來得太晚了。
Have you see him lately?你最近見到過他嗎?
3.The person who talks most is often theone who doesleast.說得最多的人常常幹得最少。
The audience consisted mostly of women.觀眾大部分是女的。
He will be here directly.他馬上就來。
5.The rider pulled his horse up short.騎手突然一下把馬勒住。
Make a right turn shortly beyond thevillage.村前不遠處往右拐。
6.Please stand clear of the gate.請不要站在門前。
He stated his view-point clealy.他很清楚明白地闡述了自己的觀點。
7.The exam was pretty difficult.這次考試相當難。
Her little girls are always prettilydressed.她的小女孩穿著總是很漂亮。
(二)這類詞主要有wide,widely;close,closely;high,highly等等,這兩種副詞形式不同,含義也有差別,但是沒有第一類的區別明顯,而且翻譯成漢語時用詞也很接近。所以使用時很容易混淆。這類詞含義及用法上的主要特點是:不帶-ly的副詞表示具體的行為和動作,說明的動作或狀況有可測量性和可見性;而以-ly結尾的同源副詞所表達的常常是抽象性的行為和狀況。這時,這些詞大都具有“greatly”和“extremel y”的含義。試作如下比較:
The distinguished guests were highlypraised.貴賓們受到了高度讚揚。
2.He flung the door wide open.他猛地把門開得大大的。
We were widely different on many questions.我們在許多問題上分歧很大。
3.You will have to pay dear for thattelescope.買那個望遠鏡你得付很高的價錢。
You will pay dearly for the insult.對這樣的侮辱你將付出高昂的代價。
4.She stood close against the wall.她緊挨著牆站著。
The police were watching him closely.警察在密切監視他。
5.The bird is now flying quite low.鳥兒現在飛得非常低。
He bowed lowly before the queen.他謙恭地給女王鞠了一躬。
6.They had to dig deep to reach water.他們挖得很深才挖到水。
