You can hold the picture of stripping a thing down until only the bare, plain part is left — no decoration, nothing extra. 'simply' carries that 'pared down to just this' feeling into whatever it modifies.

可以想成把一件事一層層剝乾淨,剝到只剩最素、最基本的那一塊,沒有裝飾、沒有多餘。simply 就帶著這種「削到只剩這個」的感覺:有時是把話講得很素淨好懂,有時是強調「就只有這個、不多不少」。
