语域：neutral 常见场景：describing walking or standing、describing trembling hands or voice、describing fluctuating trends or performance unsteadily 是副词，多用于书面或叙事描写，指动作不稳、摇摆或颤抖；也可比喻价格、成绩等波动不定。它在正式与非正式场合都能使用，总体上属于中性表达。
与 unsteadily 真正押韵的是 steadily (/ˈstɛdɪli/) 和 readily (/ˈrɛdɪli/)，它们的重读元音和后面的辅音、音节都一致。speedily、heavily、happily、angrily 只是拼写或结尾形态相似，发音并不相同，注意不要按形近词类推读音。
