"narrowly" 是英語中具有多重含義的副詞,主要包含以下核心釋義:
空間狹窄地
指物體或動作在有限空間内進行,如"The boat passed narrowly between two rocks"(小船從兩塊岩石的狹窄縫隙間穿過)。這種用法常見于物理空間的描述,強調空間限制的緊迫性(來源:牛津詞典)。
差一點/勉強地
表示事件以微小差距發生,常用于事故或勝負場景,如"The bill was narrowly approved by 51 to 49 votes"(該法案以51比49票勉強通過)。劍橋詞典指出該詞在此語境下強調結果的驚險性。
嚴格受限地
在法律或學術領域可指狹義解釋,如"The judge narrowly interpreted the contract terms"(法官對合同條款進行了狹義解釋)。韋氏詞典将該用法歸類為專業術語範疇。
專注細緻地
在文學語境中引申為"仔細地觀察",如"She studied the document narrowly before signing"(她仔細研讀文件後才籤字)。此釋義收錄于柯林斯高階英漢詞典。
詞源方面,該詞源于古英語"nearu"(狹窄的)與副詞後綴"-lice"的組合,最早記錄見于公元900年的盎格魯-撒克遜文獻,現代英語定型于14世紀(來源:詞源線上詞典)。
Narrowly 是一個英語副詞,其含義和用法可從以下角度綜合解析:
描述某事幾乎未達成或僅以微小差距發生,常用于“險些失敗/成功”或“差一點發生危險”的語境:
Shenarrowly won the election by 10 votes.(她以10票之差險勝)
The carnarrowly missed hitting the pedestrian.(汽車險些撞到行人)
強調嚴格限制或專注觀察,常見于法律、學術或監督場景:
The law isnarrowly interpreted to avoid loopholes.(法律被嚴格解釋以避免漏洞)
The teachernarrowly watched the students during the exam.(老師考試時嚴密監考)
指範圍、視野或空間的狹窄,多含貶義(如思想狹隘):
The study was criticized for itsnarrowly focused scope.(該研究因範圍過窄而受批評)
narrowly win/lose(險勝/惜敗)
narrowly escape death/drowning(九死一生/險些溺亡)
narrowly defined rules(嚴格定義的規則)
Five firefightersnarrowly escaped death in the explosion.(五名消防員在爆炸中死裡逃生)
The detectivenarrowly examined the evidence.(偵探仔細檢查證據)
His views arenarrowly focused on short-term gains.(他的觀點狹隘地局限于短期利益)
Narrowly 是一個多場景適用的副詞,既描述物理空間的狹窄(如“狹窄的縫隙”),也用于抽象情境中的“勉強達成”或“嚴密執行”。其核心在于表達“微小差距”或“嚴格限制”,需結合語境判斷具體含義。在英語學習中,需注意其與 barely、closely 的細微差異,并通過高頻搭配(如 narrowly escape)強化記憶。
