易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Bodily" and similar words?How to choose "Bodily" vs alternatives?

bodily vs physically

「bodily」強調與身體本身或身體動作直接相關,常用於法律或正式語境描述傷害或移動。而「physically」範圍更廣,可指身體層面、物理世界或實際存在,也常用於「physically able」等表示身體能力。

bodily vs corporal

「bodily」是通用詞,描述與身體相關的狀態或動作。而「corporal」非常正式且語義狹窄,幾乎只用於特定法律或宗教短語中,如「corporal punishment」(體罰)。

bodily vs somatic

「bodily」是日常用語,指可見可觸的身體。而「somatic」是專業術語,主要用於醫學、生物學或心理學(如 somatic symptoms),強調有別於心理或細胞層面的、與軀體組織相關的層面。

引述

在對話中,有時會用「bodily」來引述或模仿他人誇張或幽默的說法,尤其是關於身體移動或搬運的方式。 EN: He said he had to "bodily remove" the dog from the sofa. 翻譯: 他說他得「親自動手把」那隻狗從沙發上「搬走」。

EN:The security guard bodily blocked the entrance.

翻譯:保安直接用身體擋住了入口。

停頓填充

在描述一連串事件時,偶爾用作停頓填充詞,以帶出接下來要描述的、需要身體介入的具體行動。 EN: So after arguing for a while, he just... bodily picked up his bag and left. 翻譯: 所以爭論了一陣子後,他就…直接拎起他的包走了。

EN:The plan failed, so we had to, you know, bodily intervene.

翻譯:計畫失敗了,所以我們不得不,你知道的,親身介入。

注意:以上口語用法帶有隨意、生動的色彩。在正式寫作(如學術論文、商業報告)中,應避免此類用法,改用更精確、中性的動詞(如 physically remove, personally carry, directly block)。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Bodily"?Which "Bodily" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×He suffered a bodily injury.

He suffered a bodily injury.

此處 'bodily' 為形容詞,修飾名詞 'injury'。學習者常誤以為 'bodily' 在此句中為動詞。作為動詞時,'bodily' 極其罕見且僅用於特定法律或哲學語境,意為『賦予形體』或『具體化』。一般情況下,'bodily' 主要用作形容詞。

×The spirit attempted to bodily.

The spirit attempted to bodily itself.

動詞 'bodily'(使具體化)是及物動詞,必須接賓語。錯誤句子中缺少賓語,語意不完整。

×We need to bodily the plan.

We need to embody the plan.

學習者可能想表達『體現』或『具體實現』某事物,但現代英語中對應的常用動詞是 'embody',而非 'bodily'。'Bodily' 作為動詞已幾乎不再使用。

×The thought was bodilying in her mind.

The thought was being given bodily form in her mind.

動詞 'bodily' 極其罕見,其現在分詞 'bodilying' 幾乎從不使用,聽起來不自然。應使用更常見的片語來表達相同概念。

×He was removed bodily from the room.

He was removed bodily from the room.

此句中 'bodily' 是副詞,意為『整個身體地』、『親自地』,修飾動詞 'removed'。學習者可能誤將此處的副詞用法判斷為動詞。需根據上下文判斷詞性。
