- 1不情願地、勉強地
Grudgingly means you do it, or you give it, but you really do not want to. The word tells us about the feeling, not about how big the gift is. He grudgingly agreed means he said yes, and it cost him some pride. It usually sits just before the verb: she grudgingly handed over the keys. It is a little more at home in writing than in easy talk. In speech, people often show the same feeling with a tight 'fine' or a long pause.
