词组 ertainly(surely)
释义
ertainly : surely — 208
1. 这两个副词是同义,都作“一定地”、“必定地”和“当然”讲,有时并可通用;但相比之下,前者的语气要比后者强烈得多(注: certain 与 sure 相比,也是这样)。
例如:
The Arab people will certainly win. 阿拉伯人民必将胜利。(最好不用 surely )
Our team will certainly / surely defeat opponents. 我队必能打败对方。(通用一下,问题不大)
比较:
Madge is late, but certainly she will come. 玛琪迟到了,但她一定会来。
Madge is late, but surely she will come. 玛琪迟到了,但她总是会来的。
That's certainly a plain-clothes policeman. 那肯定是个便衣警察。(说话者已认出他是便衣警察,所以敢于这样说。)
Surely that's a plain - clothes policeman. 那一定是个便衣警察。(= Can that really be a plain - clothes policeman? )
Certainly you will not be resigned to a state of laggingbehind. 你肯定不会安于落后现状。(语气较强)
Surely you will not be resigned to a state of lagging behind.
你未必会安于落后现状。(语气较弱)
2. 用作呼应语,前者多半用于肯定结构,相当于 of course 这个短语,而后者则多半用于否定结构。
例如:“ Will you help me? ”—“ Certainly , I will. ”“请你帮我一下忙,好吗?”——“当然可以。”
You don't think I'm going to pay for you, surely? 你以为我不给你钱了,真的吗?
