示範例句 · Example
The blue van was parked illegally in front of the fire station.
逐字那台藍色廂型車被非法地停在消防隊前面。
「illegally」講的是「做這件事的方式違反法律」，所以它站在動詞旁邊：park illegally（違規停車）、act illegally（做出違法的事）。它的形容詞是 illegal，站在名詞旁邊：illegal parking。這個字可以想成是由三塊拼起來的——legal（法律允許的）＋ 前面的 il-（不）＋ 後面的 -ly（用這種方式），合起來就是「用法律不允許的方式」。中文的「違規」跟「非法」語氣差很多，但英文從停車到大案子，都可以用同一個 illegally。

core核心畫面
You can picture a line drawn by the law, and the action happening on the wrong side of it. Illegally doesn't describe how well or how fast something was done — it describes where the action stands in relation to that line: outside what the law permits, so someone can be fined or punished for it.
