Think of a line drawn at whatever counts as normal — the usual price, the usual temperature, the usual behaviour of this person. `unusually` is the speaker pointing at that line and saying: this one is off it. What sits off the line can be an amount (`unusually cold for May`) or a whole event (`Unusually, the shop was closed`). Either way the word is doing the same job — it quietly reminds you that a normal exists, and marks this case as away from it.
可以想成有一條線,畫在「平常應該是這樣」的位置上——平常的價錢、平常的溫度、這個人平常的樣子。unusually 就是說話的人指著那條線說:這一次不在線上。離開線的可以是一個「量」(unusually cold for May),也可以是「整件事」(Unusually, the shop was closed)。不管哪一種,這個字做的事情都一樣:它先安靜地提醒你有一個常態存在,再把眼前這一次標記成偏離常態。
