  c.方式副词(短语)

  1)概说

  1657 大多数方式副词都是形容词后加词尾-ly构成:

  quickly carefully traditionally

  faithfully luckily internationally

  但有些以-ly结尾的词是由名词加词尾构成,是形容词:

  queenly soldierly friendly

  beggarly worldly heavenly

  cowardly scholarly miserly

  这样的词不是副词,因此不能说 She walked queenly.而要说She walked in a queenly manner.不能说 He treats me friend-ly.而要说 He treats me in a friendly way.但是以-ly结尾的形容词有时直接用作副词,而不再加-ly,以避免不协调的声音:

  We have acted manly(不要说 manlily) in these circumstances.

  He died untimely(不要说 untimelily).

  The army retreated orderly.

  1658 有少数表示方式的副词性短语可以用方式副词代替:

  He treats John with kindness(= kindly).

  He speaks Japanese with fluency(=fluently).

  I can do it with ease(=easily).

  They marched off in triumph(= triumphantly).

  He has told you in private(=privately).

  By good luck(= Luckily) I find the thing I lost.

  He sent the letter by mistake (=mistakenly).

  He deceived me on purpose(= purposely).

  He screamed like a fool(=foolishly).

  但多数这类短语不能用副词代替:

  He comes of a rich family.

  He failed because of his negligence.

  It is made by John.

  He was killed with a stone.

  It is made of iron.

  He is starved to death.

  We wished for peace.

  He went out in spite of the rain.

  Plants will die without water.

  1659 表示方式的短语相当大一批是由介词引起的,如1658中所给的例子。另一大批为地点副词,亦称副词性小品词,常可用在动词成语中,表示方式而不是表示地点。有些地点副词跟在不及物动词后(参阅1346)。

  He drew up(=stopped) before a store.

  Hold on(= Wait) a second, please.

  The machine broke down(=didn't work properly).

  Things work out(=develop) badly.

  He didn't show up(= appear).

  The couple split up(=ended their relationship) just an hour after their wedding.

  He turned in(= went to bed) at eleven.

  Speak up(=speak in a loud voice).

  有些则跟在及物动词后面:

  We put on(=presented) a show.

  He turned down(=refused) my application.

  Don't hold up(=delay) the traffic.

  You made up(=invented) the story.

  I'll take on(=undertake) the task.

  We have to put off(=postpone) the trip.
