◇ Adverbs
副詞
副詞與形容詞都是修飾語,形容詞是用來修飾「名詞」或「代名詞」;而副詞則是用來修飾「動詞」、「形容詞」或其他「副詞」。這些修飾語可有可無, 拿掉修飾語並不影響句子結構的正確性;然而少了修飾語,卻會削弱語文表達的能力。 例如:Dr. Leana Karena states that lonely people do not experience fewer hours of sleep, but rather wake up more frequently throughout the night. 這裡的「frequently」是頻率副詞,用來表示「頻繁地」的意思。
Example:
1. Anita placed the vase carefully on the shelf.
Anita 小心翼翼地將花瓶放在架子上。
2. She sometimes helps us.
她有時候會幫我們。
3. The food was absolutely delicious.
這食物時在美味無比。
