Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想“distract（分心）”，副词后缀“-edly”，想象思绪被拉扯散开，因而心烦意乱地做事。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：书面叙述、正式演讲 distractedly 通常用于书面叙述或较正式的表达，表示心不在焉或心烦意乱地做某事；日常口语中较少单独使用，多换成 in a distracted way 或 absent-mindedly。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都拼作 -edly，并且词尾都读 /ɪdli/，属于真正的语音对应。不过它们没有一个是和 distractedly /dɪˈstræktɪdli/ 完全押韵的，因为押韵要求从重读元音到结尾全部相同，而 distractedly 的重音在 /træk/ 上，这些词的重音分别在其他音节上。注意 -ed- 在这类词中读 /ɪd/，不能按拼写读成 /t/。
