语境与语域Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：academic writing、news reporting、formal speech overtly 表示“公开地；公然地”，比 openly 更正式，多用于学术写作、新闻报道或正式演讲等书面或正式场合；日常口语中较少见，有时出现在“not overtly…”这类否定结构中。选择时请注意语境正式程度。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Overtly may be pronounced /əʊˈvɜːtli/ or /ˈəʊvɜːtli/. The words directly, exactly, quietly, and definitely all contain the same final /tli/ sound but have different stressed vowels, so they do not rhyme with overtly. Overly (/ˈəʊvərli/) and covertly (/ˈkʌvətli/) look similar in spelling but sound different.
