语境与语域Context & Register
语域:mixed 常见场景:正式/书面:描述可怕的外貌或景象、口语/非正式:作加强语气的副词,如 hideously expensive 该词有两类常见用法:一是较正式地表示‘可怕地、丑陋地’;二是口语中加强语气,表示‘极其、非常’,多修饰负面形容词。实际语气需根据搭配判断。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
hideously 读作 /ˈhɪdɪəslɪ/,重音在第一个音节 hi-。与它真正押韵的是 /-ɪdɪəslɪ/,如不太常用的 perfidiously /pəˈfɪdɪəslɪ/ 和 insidiously /ɪnˈsɪdɪəslɪ/。上面的六个词都只是拼写相近,并不押韵:seriously, obviously, furiously, curiously, previously 都有 -ously 结尾,但重读元音或辅音结构不同;jealously /ˈdʒɛləsli/ 的重读元音也不同。不要仅凭 -ously 拼写推断读音。
