| 释义 | advisedly Cranky old Ambrose Bierce in 1909 objected to the use of advisedly to mean "intentionally." He said it "should mean that it was done after advice." Bernstein 1971 dismantles Bierce's ill-founded opinion: "when you do something advisedly your counsel is self-contained." Phythian 1979 agrees with Bernstein. They are right and Bierce wrong: • I am working as a judge at the Los Angeles County Fair, and I use the word "working" advisedly — Frank J. Priai, N.Y. Times, 15 Aug. 1979 • ... and strictly "educationally" speaking (inverted commas are used advisedly) —Times Literary Supp., 2 Apr. 1971 • I often say that one must permit oneself, and that quite advisedly and deliberately, a certain margin of misstatement —Benjamin N. Cardozo, "Law and Literature," 1925, in Selected Writings of Benjamin N. Cardozo, ed. Margaret E. Hall, 1947 • The constituent principles of the modern point of view, as accepted advisedly or by oversight by Adam Smith and his generation —Thorstein Veblen, The Vested Interests, 1919 |
