核心问题
clear 除用作形容词外,亦可用作副词。在用作副词时,它与副词 clearly 有什么区别?
词典解答
副词 clear 与副词 clearly 在作“清楚地”解时,意思是相同的。例如:
-
He spoke loud(ly) and clear(ly). (GPU) 他讲话声音洪亮而清晰。
-
Langdon could hear Teabing's true meaning loud and clear. (Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code) 兰登其实明白提彬想说什么。(《达·芬奇密码》)
但是,当有修饰语时则只能用 clearly:
-
He spoke so clearly that I could hear every word. (LDCE) 他讲话非常清晰,所以每句话我都能听清楚。
-
The incident remained very clearly in his mind. (Dreiser) 这件事清晰地留在他的脑海里。另外，副词 clear 还可作“完全(地)”解：
The prisoner got clear away. 那囚犯逃得无影无踪。
clearly 可用作句子状语：
-
Clearly, she consults her lawyer regularly. (CGEL) 很明显,她经常向她的律师进行咨询。
-
Clearly, he's a very stupid person. 显然他是个大笨蛋。
