示範例句 · Example
Mei's report humorously describes what happened when the class rabbit escaped.
逐字美的報告幽默地描述了當班上的兔子逃走時發生的事。
「humorously」是 humorous 的副詞，說的是「講這件事、寫這件事的方式讓人覺得好笑又舒服」，所以它幾乎都黏在 describe、tell、say、write、call 這類「表達」的動詞旁邊。可以想成：humour（幽默感）長出 humorous（有幽默感的），再加 -ly 就變成「用讓人會心一笑的方式去做」。它跟 wittily 很容易混——wittily 說的是用字聰明、反應很快，humorously 說的是整段聽起來或讀起來輕鬆好笑；另外 LDOCE 也提醒，日常口語大家更常直接說 funny，humorous 這一家偏書面。
