對英文文法有點研究的就會知道
形容詞 (adj.) 跟 副詞 (adv.) 本是同根生的概念,基本上就是親兄弟
形容詞通常字尾加上 ly 就搖身一變成 副詞囉
只不過他們各自的功能不太一樣
最常見形容詞拿來修飾「名詞」或是拿來當「補語」
例如:She is a beautiful girl. ( beautiful 修飾girl )
例如:She is beautiful. ( beautiful 當主詞補語 )
而副詞用來修飾「一般動詞」還有「形容詞」「副詞」以及「句子」
例如:She spoke very loudly. ( loudly 修飾 spoke 這個動詞 )
不過呢,語言總是有些例外
就像「音樂」不念「ㄌㄜˋ」而是「ㄩㄝˋ」一樣
以下五組常見英文中「形容詞跟副詞長一樣」的例子
並且加上 ly 一樣是副詞,不過是不一樣的意思
怎麼分辨,就是看句子中修飾的詞是誰
high (adj.) 高的; 嗑藥後的嗨 (adv.) 在高處,高高地
例子:
We want to build a building with a high ceiling. 當形容詞修飾後方 building 名詞
He was high on heroin at the time. 當形容詞修飾前面主詞
The bird flies high. 當副詞修飾前面動詞 fly
You'll have to hit the ball high to get it over that net. 當副詞修飾前面動詞 fly
加上 ly 一樣是副詞 不過 highly (adv.) 指的是 非常,極其
例子:
He got a highly paid job. 當副詞修飾後面形容詞 paid
I highly recommend this restaurant. 當副詞修飾後面動詞 recommend
My boss speaks highly of John in the company. 當副詞修飾前面動詞 speak
(speak highly of sb 指 對某人評價很高、高度讚揚)
hard (adj.) 硬的; 困難的 (adv.) 努力滴

例子:

I'm hardly late for school. 當副詞修飾後面形容詞 late
My mom hardly believes the truth. 當副詞修飾前面動詞 believes
