    It still carries a little of an older feeling of wonder — as if you are looking at something and thinking, “How can that be this good?” — so it sounds a bit warmer and more storybook than a flat “very.” Grown-ups who like tidy, slightly old-fashioned English use it more than teenagers; in everyday American English the same word is usually spelled marvelously, with one l.

    It它 still carries仍然帶著 a little of an older feeling of wonder一點古老的驚奇感 — as if好像 you你 are looking at something看著某樣東西 and thinking心想, "How can that be this good?"「這怎麼可能這麼好?」 — so所以 it它 sounds聽起來 a bit warmer and more storybook比平板的「very」更溫暖,更有故事書味道 than a flat "very." Grown-ups喜歡工整、有點老派英文的大人 who like tidy, slightly old-fashioned English use it more than teenagers比青少年更常用它; in everyday American English在日常美式英文裡, the same word同一個字 is usually spelled通常拼成 marvelouslymarvelously, with one l只有一個l

    People also stretch it for emphasis, and sometimes for a joke: “marvellously silly” means very silly, said with a smile, not that the silliness is a beautiful thing.

    People人們 also stretch it也會延伸使用它 for emphasis為了加強語氣, and而 sometimes有時 for a joke也是開玩笑: "marvellously silly""marvellously silly" means意思是 very silly非常傻, said with a smile帶著微笑說出來, not不是說 that the silliness is a beautiful thing那種傻氣本身很美好

    It does not, by itself, tell you whether something is morally good; it tells you the speaker is struck by how well or how strongly something comes off.

    It它 does not, by itself本身並不會, tell you告訴你 whether something is morally good某件事在道德上是不是好的; it它 tells you告訴你的是 the speaker說話者 is struck by對...感到驚訝 how well or how strongly something comes off某件事做得多好或多強烈
