actually

常用用法

actually有時(shí)意爲(wèi)"說來奇怪，但竟然這樣。I actually saw him yesterday. 說來奇怪，我昨天竟然看見了他。
actually意爲(wèi)“真正地，事實(shí)上”，actual則是“真的，實(shí)際的”，他們可以被用來改錯(cuò)或者是解開誤解。The book says she died aged 47，but her actual age was 43。 ‘Hello,John.Nice to meet you.’‘Actually,my name's Andy.’
他們也可以用actual來把事情表達(dá)得更清楚，精確，或者是提供意想不到的信息。I've got a new job.Actually,they've made me sales manager.
actual與actually有時(shí)會(huì)被錯(cuò)誤使用，與present, current,now等詞的意思混淆。注意actual沒有“儅前的，現(xiàn)在的”等義。In 1900 the population of London was higher than its now. （NOT...than actually is）
英國人通常使用actually將壞消息斷開來講，‘How did you get on with my car?' ‘Well,actually,I'm terribly sorry,I'm afraid I had a crash.’
