Not this

语域:neutral 常见场景:written narrative、describing a look or tone of voice quizzically 多用于书面叙述,尤其是描写人物的表情、眼神或语气,表示“疑惑地问/看”;日常口语中较少单独使用,更常说 in a questioning/puzzled way。
physically 和 metaphysically 与 quizzically 真正同韵(重音后的 /ɪzɪkli/ 一致)。musically、politically、practically 拼写上也以 -ically 结尾,但重音元音不同,因此不押韵;whimsically 在 /z/ 前有 /m/,也只是近似。
