1. 1平靜地、安詳地

    Serenely is how you do something when you are very calm and peaceful. She smiled serenely. He walked serenely through the noise. The -ly does not change the feeling of ; it only says the calm belongs to the action. It still carries that clear-sky quiet — not quietly because you are scared or sulking, but quietly because you are settled. Like , it sounds a little formal or literary. You would use it in a story or a careful description more than in a fast chat.
