grammar · medium
易错句子He explained the rules very decent.
正确表达He explained the rules very decently.
“explained”是实义动词,需要用副词“decently”来修饰动作;形容词“decent”不能修饰动词。
grammar · medium
易错句子The soup tastes decently.
正确表达The soup tastes decent.
“tastes”在这里是系动词,后面应接形容词“decent”作表语,而不是副词“decently”;中文“尝起来不错”没有词形变化,容易误加-ly。
此处取“decently”的“正派地、得体地”义;indecently 是其直接反义词,强调违背道德或礼仪标准。
对应“decently”的“合适地”义,侧重不合规范或不得体;与 indecently 相比不强调道德败坏,二者不能完全互换。
decent 是形容词,修饰名词;decently 是副词,修饰动词或形容词。表示“穿得体面/得体”应用副词:dress decently,不可说 dress decent。
properly 侧重“按规定或正确方法做”,decently 侧重“体面、正派、不粗俗”。说“表现规矩/正确”用 properly,说“行为正派/得体”用 decently。
