语域：neutral 常见场景：日常对话、书面评论 embarrassingly 是中性副词，通常用于日常对话和一般书面评论，表示‘令人尴尬地；使人难堪地’。正式或学术文体中较少见，但并非不可用，比较常见于对表现、结果等的评价。
发音和拼写提示：embarrassingly 的重音在 /bær/，没有常用词与它完全押韵。以 -ingly 结尾的副词（surprisingly, amazingly, interestingly, alarmingly）拼写相似，末尾都有 /iŋli/，但重音位置不同，所以不押韵。embarrassing 和它共享整个 /ɪmˈbærəsɪŋ/ 部分，但少了最后的 /li/；barren 只共享重读的 /bær/ 和拼写 "barr"。
