喜樂美語
  1. 1rB2/ˈnuːli/新近；最近才

    used directly before a past participle to say that something happened only a short time ago.

    示範例句 · Example

    The newly married couple moved into the house next door last week.

    逐字這對新婚的夫妻上週搬進了隔壁的房子。

    newly 幾乎只出現在過去分詞前面，兩個字合起來變成一個形容詞，例如 newly married（新婚的）、newly built（新蓋好的）、newly elected（新當選的）。它跟 recently 不一樣：recently 可以放在句子很多位置（recently moved / moved recently），newly 幾乎固定黏在分詞前面，中間不能插別的字。

    常見搭配

    • newly married

      新婚的

      having gotten married only a short time ago

      The newly married couple sent everyone a thank-you card.

    • newly formed / newly built

      新成立的／新蓋好的

      created or constructed only a short time ago

      The town opened its newly built library on Saturday.

    • newly discovered / newly elected

      新發現的／新當選的

      found or chosen only a short time ago

      Reporters asked the newly elected mayor about her plans.

core核心畫面

Picture a wall where the paint is still wet, or a couple still holding the wedding flowers. Newly goes right in front of a past participle and stamps it: this change happened only a moment ago, and it still shows. A newly built house is not just a house — it is a house whose newness you can still see.

可以想成「油漆還沒乾」的那個瞬間。newly 幾乎只站在過去分詞前面（newly built、newly married、newly appointed），替那個動作蓋上一個章：這件事才剛發生，痕跡還在。所以 a newly opened shop 給人的感覺不只是「開了」，而是「剛開，還新著」——時間很近，狀態還沒褪。
