Memory Tip
把 godly 记成“God + ly”，像上帝那样，所以是虔诚敬神的；想想 godless（无神的）正好相反。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：religious sermons and discussions、formal or literary writing、solemn speeches godly 表“虔诚、敬神的”时，通常多用于宗教语境，语气庄重；在宗教场合中比较自然，在文学或正式书面语中则偏正式。日常口语中较少用，常用 devout 代替。
Pronunciation & Spelling
「godly」读作 /ˈɡɑːdli/。与 oddly /ˈɑːdli/ 押韵（重读元音和后续辅音一致）。badly、sadly、madly、gladly 都以 -dly 结尾、末尾读 /dli/，但重读元音为 /æ/，与 /ɑː/ 不同，因此不押韵。godless 以 god- 开头，但结尾读 /ləs/，也不押韵。
