  1. 1rB1/ˈdeɪndʒərəsli/危險地

    逐字那艘船危險地靠近那些岩石，所以船長把它轉開了。

    「dangerously」是 dangerous 的副詞，意思是「以一種有危險的方式」。它最常見的位置其實不是動詞旁邊，而是放在 close、near、high、low 這些字前面：dangerously close 是「近到危險」，dangerously high 是「高到危險」。可以想成 dangerously 幫你把一個普通的形容詞往上推，推到「再過去就要出事」的那條線；只說 very close 是很近，加了 dangerously 才有「該處理了」的味道。

The adverb of dangerous: it says the action, or the level something has reached, sits close to the edge where harm starts. Very often it is not describing wild behaviour at all — it is measuring a distance or an amount and saying "this has gone past safe".

可以想成「已經靠近那條會出事的線」：它是 dangerous 的副詞，說的是做這件事的方式、或某個數值到達的位置，離受傷、出事只差一點。有意思的是它最常見的用法其實不是形容誰在亂來，而是拿來量距離或量高低——放在 close、near、high、low 前面，等於在說「這個程度已經超出安全範圍了」。
