1 副词和形容词同形（Adv erbs and Adjectiv es Identical in Form） 有的形容词同副词在词形上完全一样，但形容词起的是定语作用，而副词起的却是状语作用。如： An early riser gets up early . A fast train travels fast. Daily newspapers are published daily . This is hard work . We have to work hard. 区别副词和形容词常常依靠该词句法功能。如：go straight, tell someone straight 中为副词。在短语set someone/something straight, put someone/something straight, drink whisky straight, keep one’s face straight中的straight 看作形容词，因straight 在些起宾语补足语的作用。 英语中常有成对的副词：一个不带－ly,另一个由形容词加后缀－ly构成。这种有－ly的副词有时可同无－ly的副词互换，有时两者的用法和意义不一。但一般来说没有后缀－LY 的副词表示动作所造成的结果、状态或给人的感觉，而,带有后缀－LY 的副词则表示的动作方式。如： bright, brightly cheap,cheaply She sells her goods cheap.(cheap 可用cheaply替换。在较为随便的谈话中，当动词是buy, sell 时，常用cheap. clean, cleanly This knife cuts cleanly. The bullet went clean through the wall. Clean through = right through.作副词的clean 含义为completely, right.在非正式语体里，它常跟动词forget,介词over,through,副词away, out 连用。如： Sorry I didn’t turn up --- I CLEAN FORGOT. The ball sailed clean over the roof. The prisoner got clean away. I’m afraid I’m clean out of (= have no more) food. clear, clearly Stand clear of the doors of the train. 副词clear 跟 of 一起时，意为away from, not touching. He threw her clear across the room. Clear across = right across “I said it very loud and clear(clear = clearly); I went and shouted in his ear.” 2 He spoke so clearly that I could hear every word. close, closely Come close; I want to tell you something.(作副词时，“接近地，”“紧密地”，表具体近的程度) The boy followed close behind his father. The fellow stood...
