联想 verb(动词)+ ally:说话离不开动词,开口用动词表达,就是“口头地、非书面地”。
语域:mixed 常见场景:legal/formal agreements、workplace communication、everyday conversation 通常表示“口头地、用说话的方式”,与“书面地”相对。多用于正式场合(如口头协议、口头通知),日常交流中也可使用,但比“in words”或“in person”略正式。
这些词都和 verbally 一样以 -ally 结尾,但没有任何一个与 /ˈvɜːrbəli/ 完全押韵。virtually /ˈvɜːrtʃuəli/ 和 vertically /ˈvɜːrtɪkli/ 的 ver- 开头与 verbally 相似,但中间发音差别很大;actually /ˈæktʃuəli/ 的 -ally 在常见美式发音中多出一个 /u/ 音。finally、generally、naturally 也以 -ally 结尾,但重音和前面的音节不同。
