Common mistakes

looks 是连系动词，后接形容词作表语描述主语的外观，hideous 是形容词；hideously 是副词，不能放在连系动词后修饰主语。
He was hideous dressed for the party.He was hideously dressed for the party.
dressed 是过去分词，表被动或状态时需要用副词修饰，说明穿着的方式；hideous 是形容词，不能修饰动词性的过去分词，所以应改为副词 hideously。

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。
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。
