系动词 is 后需要形容词作表语,doubtless 可作形容词表示“确定的”;doubtlessly 是副词,不能单独放在 is 后构成“It is ... that”结构。
与 doubtlessly 意思几乎相同,都表示“毫无怀疑地”,但 undoubtedly 是现代英语中最常用的说法,适用于口语和正式书面语;doubtlessly 罕见、偏书面甚至显得陈旧,日常表达中应优先用 undoubtedly。
doubtless 既能作副词(Doubtless he will agree.),也能作形容词(较罕见),而 doubtlessly 只能作副词;作副词时 doubtless 更常见,且常弱化为“大概、想必”的推测语气,肯定程度不如 doubtlessly 强。
两者只差一个字母,但态度相反:doubtfully 指“带着怀疑、不确定”,doubtlessly 指“毫不怀疑、肯定”。描述某人以怀疑态度做某事时用 doubtfully,绝不能用 doubtlessly。
