记忆联想：courage 是勇气，-ously 像‘勇敢地’的副词尾巴；想象勇士带着勇气向前冲，就是 courageously。
语域：neutral 常见场景：故事叙述、新闻报道 courageously 是副词，表示“勇敢地”。这个词多用于书面语和较正式场合，日常口语中也可使用；如果想更口语化，可以用 bravely。
只有 outrageously 与 courageously 真正押韵：重音都在 /eɪ/，后面同为 /dʒəsli/。graciously、famously、dangerously 虽也有 /eɪ/ 开头的相似音节，但后续辅音不同，不是押韵；seriously、obviously 只是拼写以 -ously 结尾，发音差别较大。
