【问】 You may throw a ball into the air，and if you are very strong it will go up high. But it won’t stay there all the time. As gravity pulls it，it falls right back to the earth again.

(北大《英语》(二)，P.1)

[原译]……它会恰好又回到地面。(教参)

请问right在这里做“恰好”解吗?

【答】 副词right除作“恰好”解之外，还可作“立即”、“很快”(immediately，without delay)解。例如：

1. I will be right back.

我很快就回来。

2. He lay down on the floor and went right to sleep.

他躺在地板上，不一会儿就睡着了。

3. Although states were allowed to coin money right after the America Revolution，theywere not allowed to do so today.

(A) fairly (B) temporarily (C) immediately (D) haphazardly

在你提问的句子中，副词right应取这个含义。只有这样，才能与上句中的all the time相呼应，即球不是总停留在空中，而是立即又落回到地面。
