Think of poorly as the word poor stuck onto an action: the thing did get done, just done badly, , not well enough. British English then hangs that same judgement on a person's condition rather than their work - if you are poorly, your body is the thing that is not in good shape.

可以想成 poorly 就是把 poor 那種「不夠好、狀況不佳」的評語掛到動作上:事情有做,只是做得差、做得弱、做得不到位。英式英文再把同一個評語掛到人身上——一個人的狀態不佳,也就是不太舒服。
