- 1出神地、恍惚地(帶著陶醉、心思飄到別處的那種)
In a way that shows your mind is somewhere else — floating on some pleasant thought instead of on the room you are sitting in. It describes how someone does something, so it goes with verbs of looking, speaking, and smiling: to gaze dreamily out of a window, to smile dreamily, to say something dreamily.
In a way that shows your mind is somewhere else一種顯示你的心思飄到別處的樣子——floating on some pleasant thought飄在某個愉快的念頭上, instead of on the room you are sitting in而不是在你坐著的這個房間裡。It describes how someone does something它描述一個人做事的方式, so it goes with verbs of looking, speaking, and smiling所以會搭配看、說、笑這類動詞: to gaze dreamily out of a window dreamily地望向窗外, to smile dreamily dreamily地微笑, to say something dreamily dreamily地說某件事。
The picture behind it is soft eyes and a slow voice, a person who is happy but only half present. It's warm, not an insult — quite different from 'absent-mindedly', which suggests you forgot something, or 'blankly', which suggests nothing at all is going on inside. Dreamily, there is definitely something going on inside; you just aren't invited.
The picture behind it它背後的畫面 is soft eyes and a slow voice是溫柔的眼神和緩慢的聲音, a person who is happy but only half present一個人很開心、卻只有一半在場。It's warm這個字是溫暖的, not an insult不是侮辱——quite different from 'absent-mindedly'跟'absent-mindedly'(心不在焉)很不一樣, which suggests you forgot something那個字暗示你忘了什麼, or 'blankly'或'blankly'(茫然), which suggests nothing at all is going on inside那個字暗示裡面什麼都沒發生。Dreamily而dreamily, there is definitely something going on inside裡面絕對有事情在發生; you just aren't invited只是你沒被邀請進去。
It leans literary. People write it in novels far more than they say it out loud, so it will look natural in your reading and slightly fancy in your speech.
It leans literary這個字偏文學。People write it人們寫 in novels far more than they say it out loud在小說裡的頻率遠高於說出口, so it will look natural in your reading所以你在閱讀時會覺得它很自然, and slightly fancy in your speech但在你自己說話時會顯得有點花俏。
core核心畫面
組成dream + -y + -ly. Three pieces stacked: 'dream' the noun, '-y' making the adjective 'dreamy' (full of dream-quality), and '-ly' turning that adjective into an adverb — how the action is done. The 'y' softens to 'i' before -ly, which is the regular spelling rule for adjectives ending in y.
