"The price was unrealistically low." "The deadline is unrealistically short." When you use it, you are not just measuring something — you are judging it. You are saying: this number, this hope, this picture of the world could not actually happen, and someone has failed to see that. So there is usually a quiet criticism inside it.

If you say a company set unrealistically high targets, you are saying the managers were foolish or dishonest, not merely optimistic. It also gets used a lot when talking about pictures and media — models in advertisements are described as unrealistically thin, films as showing unrealistically perfect lives. Here it carries a small note of complaint on behalf of ordinary people.

It can attach to a verb too ("he plans unrealistically"), but that sounds stiff; the natural home of this word is right before an adjective. It is a long word and a slightly formal one — in everyday speech people are more likely to say "way too high" or "that's never going to happen."

core核心畫面
組成un- (not) + real + -ist- + -ic (forming the adjective realistic) + -ally (making it an adverb). Real came into English from Old French reel, from Late Latin realis, built on Latin res meaning "a thing, a matter." So at the bottom of this long word is the idea of thing-ness: what is real is what is actually a thing in the world. Realistic then means "fitting the real," and unrealistically means "in a way that does not fit the real."
