把别人说成 below par（低于标准杆）：disparagingly 就是以贬低、轻视的口吻这样说话。
语域：neutral 常见场景：书评、新闻报道、日常叙述 该词通常用于书面或较正式的叙述中，多用来描述说话或写作时带有轻视、贬低的态度；日常口语中虽然也能用，但听起来会比较正式。
这些词都以 -ingly 结尾，拼写相似，但没有一个与 disparagingly 真正押韵。目标词重音在第二音节 /spær/；boringly、grudgingly、sparingly、charmingly 重音在第一音节，surprisingly、amazingly 重音在第二音节但元音不同。注意 -ingly 的末尾 /ɪŋli/ 相同，但押韵需从重读元音开始完全匹配，所以只能算尾部相同。
