loud/loudly

上面的句子当然也可写成:Do not talk so loudly. 但是形容词 loud,如同 slow 等形容词一样,可以以相同的形式作副词,如:

1. He spoke and laughed out loud. 他说完后大笑起来。

2. Speak louder, please! 请大点儿声说!

3. Don't talk so loud — You'll wake the whole street. 别那么大声说话,你会把左邻右舍都吵醒的。

副词 loud 与副词 loudly 虽然同义,但在用法上却有些区别:

A. loud 通常与 talk, speak, shout, laugh 等动词连用,但并非总是如此,例如:

1. Of course, everyone began to shout very loudly. 当然，每一个人都开始大声喊叫。

2. The audience laughed loudly. 观众大声笑了。

3. Speak more loudly, or the people at the back won't be able to hear. 再大点声讲，否则后边的人听不见。

B. loud 要放在动词的后面,而 loudly 既可放在动词后,亦可放在动词前:

1. He wept loudly. 他号啕大哭。

2. I feel very much annoyed when my neighbour's cock loudly crows outside my window. 每当我听到邻家的公鸡在我窗外大叫时，就感到心烦。

C. loudly 有时含有贬义：

1. Prisoners have complained loudly( = in a forceful way) about their living conditions. 囚犯们大声抱怨他们的生活条件太差。

2. Alf demanded loudly that he should be given what was due to him. 阿尔夫吵吵嚷嚷地要求，该归他所得的一定要给他。
