    Partly, but not completely or not in every way.

    示範例句 · Example

    The plan was only partially successful — about half of it worked.

    逐字這個計畫只有部分地成功——大約一半有效。

    partially 是「只有一部分、沒有全部」的意思,從 part(部分)長出來的。可以想成「事情只做到一半、只成功一部分」。跟 partly 很接近,兩個常常可以互換;partially 聽起來稍微正式一點,也特別常搭 sighted、deaf、blind(partially sighted=視力部分受損)。

    常見搭配

core核心畫面

Picture a curtain pulled halfway across a window: some light gets through, some does not. The word marks that middle ground — the thing did happen, but not all the way and not in every respect.

可以想成:窗簾只拉了一半,光透進來一些、擋掉一些。這個副詞標的就是那個中間地帶:事情確實發生了,但沒有到底,也不是每一方面都算。
