在亲密关系或私人层面上:
详尽而深入地:
在私人或隐秘的方面:

补充说明:
“intimately”是副词,由形容词“intimate”加后缀“-ly”构成,核心含义包含以下三方面:
亲密地
指情感或身体上的亲近关系,例如:
"They love to whisper intimately."(他们爱亲密地耳语。)
"He did not feel he had gotten to know them intimately."(他觉得自己不必和他们往来密切。)
私下地
强调非公开的、私密的互动,例如:
"You have to be willing to get to know someone intimately."(你需要愿意深入了解某人的私密一面。)
与“closely”的区别:
“intimately”更强调深层次的关联或私人性,而“closely”侧重物理或抽象层面的接近。例如:
"I don't know Mr. Grant very intimately."(我对Grant先生并不熟识。)
此处若替换为“closely”会失去情感色彩。
考试场景应用:
雅思等考试中常考其“紧密关联”的抽象含义,如:
"Environmental issues are intimately linked to economic policies."(环境问题与经济政策密切相关。)
该词既可描述人际关系的亲密度,也可表达对事物本质的深刻理解,需结合语境判断具体含义。更多例句可参考、等来源。
