foolish作為方式副詞,它在句中的位置不同可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致句子意思的不同——原則上說(shuō),若緊跟在主語(yǔ)之后,則用于說(shuō)明主語(yǔ);若放在句末或謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之后,則說(shuō)明謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。比較:
He answered the questions foolishly. 他對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題做了愚蠢的回答。(他的回答是愚蠢的)
He foolishly answered the questions. 他愚蠢地回答了問(wèn)題。(他真蠢,根本不該回答)
He foolishly locked himself out. 他傻乎乎地把自己鎖在了門(mén)外。(他很傻,竟把自己鎖在門(mén)外)
He behaved foolishly at the party. 他在聚會(huì)上舉止愚蠢。(指舉止愚蠢)
