–ly 结尾的形容词

在通常情况下,形容词后加词尾-ly便构成副词,但是 friendly, deadly, lovely, lonely, likely, lively, brotherly 等虽带有词尾-ly,但它们却是形容词。如:

The garden looks lovely when the roses are in bloom. 玫瑰花开时园内美丽诱人。

His friendly behavior was a cloak for his evil intentions. 他友好的行为是为了他罪恶的意图打掩护。

Hers is a lonely life. 她的生活很寂寞。

Asiatic cholera is a deadly disease. 亚洲霍乱乃致死之病。

他待我们很友好。

误:He treated us friendly.

正:He treated us in a friendly way.

注:有些以-ly 结尾既为形容词,也为副词,如daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, early等。如:

We benefit from daily exercises. 我们得益于每天做操。

My father goes for a walk daily. 我父亲每天散步。
