英语方式副词用法说明方式副词表示动词的行为方式,许多以-ly结构的副词都是方式副词,如carefully, happily, quietly, heavily, warmly, correctly, politely, angrily 等。(1) 方式副词通常位于动词(及其宾语)之后:He read the letter slowly. 他从容不迫地看了那封信。方式副词通常不位于动词与宾语之间,除非动词后的宾语很长: 不可说:We like very much it. (应改为We like it very much.)但可说:We could see very clearly a strange light ahead of us. 我们可以很清楚地看到在我们前方有一道奇怪的光。若遇到“动词+介词+宾语”结构,方式副词既可位于“介词+宾语”之前,也可位于“介词+宾语”之后,但是若该结构的宾语较长,则方式副词通常位于“介词+宾语”之前:He looked at me curiously. / He looked curiously at me. 他好奇地打量着我。He looked curiously at everyone who got off the plane. 他好奇地打量着从飞机上走下来的每一个人。(2) 方式副词(主要是单个的方式副词)有时也可位于主语与动词之间:He quickly got dressed. 他赶紧穿好衣服。He angrily tore up the letter. 他很生气,把信撕碎了。(3) 有的方式副词(如bravely, cleverly, cruelly, foolishly, generously, kindly, secretly, simply等)位于动词之前和位于句末会导致句子意思的变化:They secretly decided to leave the town. 他们秘密决定离开这个城市。They decided to leave the town secretly. 他们决定秘密地离开这个城市。He answered the questions foolishly. 他对这个问题作了愚蠢的回答。He foolishly answered the questions. 他愚蠢地回答了这个问题。(4) 有的方式副词(如gently, quietly, slowly, suddenly 等)有时可位于句首,以达到某种戏剧性的效果(这主要见于书面语中):Suddenly, the driver started the engine. 突然地,司机启动了发动机。 说明:引用此文请注明出处,并请保留该文章链接地址,谢谢~~
