系动词are后面应接形容词rigid作表语；rigidly是副词，只能修饰动词、形容词或其他副词，不能作表语。

动词adhere须与介词to搭配，表示“坚持，遵守”，不能用on；汉语“遵守”容易让人误用on或at。

固定短语strictly speaking意为“严格来说”，不能用rigidly替换；rigidly虽可译作“严格地”，但不用于该固定搭配。

Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：physical description、formal writing、technical documents rigidly 的正式程度会随使用场景变化：描述姿势或物理状态时语气比较中性，多用于文学或说明性文字；表示“严格地、不灵活地”时比较常见于正式或书面语境，日常口语中更常说 strictly。选择时建议先判断是具体动作还是抽象规则。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhyme: frigidly (/ˈfrɪdʒɪdli/) rhymes with rigidly (/ˈrɪdʒɪdli/) because the stressed vowel and all following sounds match (/ɪdʒɪdli/). Vividly, rapidly, and solidly share the -idly spelling and the final /ɪdli/ sound, but their stressed vowels differ, so they do not rhyme with rigidly. Lookalikes: readily (/ˈrɛdɪli/) looks similar but has a different vowel and no /dʒ/ sound; rigid (/ˈrɪdʒɪd/) is the base adjective, ending in /d/ rather than /dli/.
