close與closely用作副詞時區別
1. 用於本義,表示“接近地”“挨近地”“緊緊地”,兩者都可用。close 通常放在動詞之後,但在過去分詞之前要用 closely。如:
He was standing close to the door. 他靠門站著。
We followed close [closely] behind him. 我們緊跟在他後麪。
We were so closely packed in the elevator that I could hardly move. 我們在電梯裡緊緊地擠在一起,我幾乎不能動彈。
2. 用於引申義,表示“仔細地”或“緊密地”,通常用 closely。可放在動詞之後或之前,或過去分詞之前。如:
She listened closely while he read. 他讀時她仔細聽著。
He closely studied this problem. 他仔細研究過這個問題。
The two events are closely connected. 這兩件事有著緊密的聯系。
