“rarely”是一个英语副词,表示“很少发生”或“不常出现”,用于描述低频事件或行为。根据牛津大学出版社的《牛津高阶英语词典》,“rarely”的词义可拆解为“not often”(不经常)或“in few cases”(在少数情况下)。例如:“She rarely travels abroad due to work commitments”(她因工作原因很少出国旅行)。
从语言学角度看,“rarely”属于频度副词,与“sometimes”“often”等构成程度差异。剑桥大学出版社的《剑桥英语词典》指出,该词多用于正式语境,且常与否定结构搭配增强语气,例如:“Rarely do we see such a spectacular performance”(我们很少见到如此精彩的演出)。
在语用层面,“rarely”与近义词“seldom”存在细微差异。根据Merriam-Webster词典的对比分析,“seldom”更强调时间间隔的长久性,而“rarely”侧重于事件发生的概率低。例如医学文献中常见表述:“This complication rarely occurs in clinical practice”(该并发症在临床实践中很少出现),凸显客观事实的陈述。
