- 1不成比例地
Disproportionately tells you that something happens in a way that is too much or too little compared with something else. It answers “how?”, not “what kind?”. Writers use it when a group gets more than their share, or less: one small town might be disproportionately hit by a storm; one kind of student might be disproportionately absent. It is a careful, slightly formal adverb, common in news and school essays. Though actually, sometimes treat it as a fancy “very”, which it is not — it always points to a comparison, even when the other side is only implied.

- Capitalizing on the restive mood, Mr. Farage, the U.K. Independence Party leader, took out an advertisement in The Daily Telegraph this week inviting unhappy Tories to defect. In it Mr. Farage sniped that the Cameron government — made up disproportionately of career politicians who graduated from Eton and Oxbridge — was “run by a bunch of college kids, none of whom have ever had a proper job in their lives.”
