"narrowly" 是英语中具有多重含义的副词,主要包含以下核心释义:
空间狭窄地
指物体或动作在有限空间内进行,如"The boat passed narrowly between two rocks"(小船从两块岩石的狭窄缝隙间穿过)。这种用法常见于物理空间的描述,强调空间限制的紧迫性(来源:牛津词典)。
差一点/勉强地
表示事件以微小差距发生,常用于事故或胜负场景,如"The bill was narrowly approved by 51 to 49 votes"(该法案以51比49票勉强通过)。剑桥词典指出该词在此语境下强调结果的惊险性。
严格受限地
在法律或学术领域可指狭义解释,如"The judge narrowly interpreted the contract terms"(法官对合同条款进行了狭义解释)。韦氏词典将该用法归类为专业术语范畴。
专注细致地
在文学语境中引申为"仔细地观察",如"She studied the document narrowly before signing"(她仔细研读文件后才签字)。此释义收录于柯林斯高阶英汉词典。
词源方面,该词源于古英语"nearu"(狭窄的)与副词后缀"-lice"的组合,最早记录见于公元900年的盎格鲁-撒克逊文献,现代英语定型于14世纪(来源:词源在线词典)。
Narrowly 是一个英语副词,其含义和用法可从以下角度综合解析:
描述某事几乎未达成或仅以微小差距发生,常用于“险些失败/成功”或“差一点发生危险”的语境:
Shenarrowly won the election by 10 votes.(她以10票之差险胜)
The carnarrowly missed hitting the pedestrian.(汽车险些撞到行人)
强调严格限制或专注观察,常见于法律、学术或监督场景:
The law isnarrowly interpreted to avoid loopholes.(法律被严格解释以避免漏洞)
The teachernarrowly watched the students during the exam.(老师考试时严密监考)
指范围、视野或空间的狭窄,多含贬义(如思想狭隘):
The study was criticized for itsnarrowly focused scope.(该研究因范围过窄而受批评)
narrowly win/lose(险胜/惜败)
narrowly escape death/drowning(九死一生/险些溺亡)
narrowly defined rules(严格定义的规则)

The detectivenarrowly examined the evidence.(侦探仔细检查证据)
His views arenarrowly focused on short-term gains.(他的观点狭隘地局限于短期利益)
Narrowly 是一个多场景适用的副词,既描述物理空间的狭窄(如“狭窄的缝隙”),也用于抽象情境中的“勉强达成”或“严密执行”。其核心在于表达“微小差距”或“严格限制”,需结合语境判断具体含义。在英语学习中,需注意其与 barely、closely 的细微差异,并通过高频搭配(如 narrowly escape)强化记忆。
