    示範例句 · Example

    Listen carefully — I'll say the address only once.

    逐字仔細聽——我只會說這個地址一次。

    carefully 是 careful 的副詞，說的是「做這個動作的方式」——把注意力整個放在手上這件事。中文有時翻「小心」（怕東西壞、怕人受傷：carry it carefully），有時翻「仔細」（怕漏掉細節：listen carefully、read it carefully），英文都是同一個字。可以想成：注意力沒變，只是保護的東西不一樣；它講的不是快慢，所以 slowly 是「慢」，carefully 是「用心」，一句話裡兩個常常一起出現（slowly and carefully）。

core核心畫面

Picture someone slowing down so that all their attention lands on the one thing in their hands: nothing gets knocked over, nothing gets skipped. The word covers both halves of that — the gentleness that protects, and the thoroughness that misses nothing.

可以想成：一個人把速度放慢，注意力全部落在手上這件事情上——沒有碰倒什麼，也沒有漏掉什麼。這個字同時涵蓋兩半：一半是「輕手輕腳、不弄壞」，一半是「仔細徹底、不遺漏」。
