（二）這類詞主要有wide，widely；close， closely ；high，highly等 等，這兩種副詞形式不同，含義 也有差別，但是沒有第一類的區別明顯，而且 翻譯成漢語時用詞也很接近。所以使用時很容易混淆。這類詞含 義及用法上的 主要特點是：不帶-ly的副詞表示具體的行為和動作，說明的動作或狀況有可測 量性和可見性；而 以-ly結尾的同源副詞所表達的常常是抽象性的行為和狀況。 這時，這些詞大都具有"greatly"和"extremel y"的含義。試作如下比較：
1.Do you see that butterfly flying high above the street?你是否看 見那只蝴蝶在街道上方高高飛舞 著？

（三）這類詞主要有slow，slowly；quick，quickly等等異形同義詞。當 然，現代英語的語言規范性要求 用以-ly 結尾的副詞來修飾動詞，但由于句子 結構以及搭配的不同，使用時也具有不同的傾向性。在此，主要 探討一下在什 么情況下常使用不帶-ly的副詞形式。同時， 把第二類中一些適應于下列規則 的詞也包括進去。 總的說來，傾向于使用不帶-ly副詞形式的情況大致有下列 四種：
Ⅰ 用作比較級或最高級時：
1.Allen was walking quickly, but George was walking evenquicker.艾倫走得很快，但喬治走得更快 。
2.The men were quarreling loudly, but the policemenshouted louder.那些人在大聲爭吵著，但 是警察喊叫得更響。
3.The car went slower and slower until it came to a stand still.汽車走得越來越慢，最后停了下 來。
4.Let's see who can run quickest.我們來看看誰跑得最快。
5.We must look closer at the problem. 我們必須更加仔細地查看這一問
題。 Ⅱ 有"so"或"too"修飾時：
1.It all happened so quick that I could do nothing. 這一切發生得如 此之快以致于我手足無措無
法 對付了。
2.It is impossible to overtake him; your car goes tooslow.不可能趕 上他了，你的車太慢了。
3.Don't talk so loud; the child is in bed now.別這樣大聲說話，孩子 已經睡了。
Ⅲ 用于修飾表示移動、天氣等常用動詞時：
1.Come quick; we are waiting for you. 快來，我們在等你。
2.Drive slow; this part of the road is dangerous.車開慢一點，這段 路很危險。
3.The sun shines bright.陽光明媚。
4.When we left the shelter, the snow was falling thickand the wind was blowing cold.我們 離開那棚屋時，正下著大雪，刮著寒風。
5.Business is going strong.生意興隆。
Ⅳ 在固定詞組中或當用于修飾它經常固定搭配的動詞時：
1.Take it easy.不要緊張。
2.Stand firm and hold it tight.站穩抓牢。
3.He often plays high.他賭注常下得很大。
4.The secretary copied the rough draft of her manager outfair.秘書 把經理那份粗潦的草稿很清 楚地謄寫出來。
5.They were drinking deep in the fort deep into the night.他們在城 堡中痛飲到深夜。
通過觀察，以上三類詞中第一類較易區別、掌握和使用。對于后兩類詞，在 判別使用哪一種副詞形式時一 般可以考慮以下幾個原則：第一是具體性與抽象 性的原則。在表示實實在在的物體活動、位置移動或具體可見 的狀況和變化時， 常使用不帶-ly的副詞形式，如：climb high，live close by，open wide，sink deep，tu rn sharp right；反之，具有抽象含義的動詞常用以-ly結尾的副詞， 如：think highly of，look closely into，love dearly等等。第二個原則就是常用固定搭配與靈活搭配的不同。 在一些固定詞組或經常搭配使用 的詞組中，不帶-ly 的副詞形式使用得很多， 如aim high，run high，fight fair，goeasy with，drink de ep，sleep sound 等等。第三個原則是口語體與標準體的使用區別。如有人說"Speak loudly and clearly. "也有人說"Speak loud and clear."對此情況難說誰對誰錯，只能 說前一種說法屬于規范性語體；而后一種 說法屬于口語體。不帶-ly 的簡單形 式是早期英語遺留下來的口語體形式。例如現在還有人說"I badneed t his sort of material."就如G.O.寇姆在〈英語句法〉（Syntax）一書中說過的，帶-ly 的副詞是標準語或 好的口語， 但在松散的口語和大眾語中人們仍然堅持使用沒 有-ly的簡單形式。
根據以上原則，可以解釋為什么可以說"Don't talk so loud. "但必須說 "He protested／complained loudly。"Talk loud 是常用的搭配形式，而且talk一詞的形象也比較具 體；protest與complain 則是搭配性 很強的詞， 還常常和許多別的副詞靈活 搭配， 如publicly，sharply，secretly等等。另外，這兩個詞比tal k更具 感情色彩，所以也就更具抽象性。
