1. 1恰如其分地、貼切地(最常見是 aptly named:名字取得很貼切)

    Aptly means “in a way that fits very well”: the name, the description, or the phrase seems right, almost as if it were chosen on purpose. We meet it most often in chunks like aptly named, aptly described, aptly called, aptly put.

    Aptly meansAptly的意思是 "in a way that fits very well"「用非常貼切的方式」:the name, the description, or the phrase這個名字、描述或說法 seems right感覺很對,almost as if幾乎像是 it were chosen on purpose是特意選的一樣。We meet it most often我們最常遇到它 in chunks like aptly named, aptly described, aptly called, aptly put是在像 aptly named、aptly described、aptly called、aptly put 這樣的詞組裡。

    If a very tall basketball player is nicknamed Tower, you might say he is aptly named.

    If如果 a very tall basketball player一個很高的籃球員 is nicknamed Tower被叫做 Tower(塔),you might say你可能會說 he is aptly named他這個綽號取得很貼切。

    The word does not mean “quickly”, and it is not just a fancy “very”, though a remark that is aptly put is often both fitting and a bit smart. It is a little more formal than “rightly” or “fittingly”; you will see it in writing and hear it from teachers and news presenters more than in playground talk.

    The word does not mean這個字不是 "quickly"「很快」的意思,and也 it is not just不只是 a fancy "very"花俏版的「很」,though不過 a remark that is aptly put一句話如果是 aptly put is often通常 both fitting and a bit smart既貼切又有點聰明機智。It is a little more formal than它比 "rightly" or "fittingly"rightly 或 fittingly 稍微正式一點;you will see it in writing你會在文章裡看到它 and hear it from teachers and news presenters也會聽到老師和新聞主播說 more than in playground talk比在操場閒聊裡常見。
