【问】1. He was admitted free.(他被免费录取。)
 2. I give it to you free.(我免费把它给你。)
 上面两句中的free是否应改为副词freely(免费)?
 【答】 free本身可以用作副词，作“免费地”、“自由地”解：
 1. The children ran free across the meadow. (MD)
 孩子们在草地上自由地奔跑。
 2. Babies are allowed to travel free on buses. (LDCE)
 婴儿准许免费坐公共汽车。
 所以，上面两个句中的free用得是对的。如改成freely，反而会产生歧义。因为freely可作“自由地”、“率直地”、“慷慨地”、“大量地”解：
 1. British goods were allowed to move freely from one state to another. (Collins)
 英国产品准许由一个国家自由地运往另一个国家。
 2. We are all comrades here and I may talk freely.
 我们这里都是同志，我可以直率地谈话。
 3. He gives freely to many organizations that help the poor.(LDCE)
 他慷慨地向救济穷人的机构捐款。
 因此，I freely give it to you.并不是指“我免费把它给你”，而是指“我毫不保留地把它给你。”
