建議使用「carefully + V」或「be careful to + V」來表達不同的謹慎意涵，避免使用「carefully to do」這種不正確的結構。
carefully vs cautiously
「carefully」強調仔細、周全的動作，而「cautiously」則側重於因潛在危險而表現出的謹慎與警惕。
carefully vs attentively
「carefully」著重於動作本身的細緻與周全，而「attentively」則強調精神上的專注與留心。
carefully vs gently
「carefully」強調避免錯誤的細心，而「gently」則強調動作的輕柔、溫和，通常為了不造成傷害或噪音。
在重複或引述他人的指示、建議或要求時，常用來強調原話中的謹慎態度。 EN: She said, "Drive carefully," as I left. 翻譯: 我離開時，她說：「小心開車。」
EN:My mom always reminds me, "Read the instructions carefully."
翻譯:我媽媽總是提醒我：「仔細閱讀說明書。」
在對話中，將「carefully」置於句末或稍作停頓後說出，用以加強語氣，提醒對方務必謹慎。 EN: You need to consider this offer... carefully. 翻譯: 你需要考慮這個提議…仔細地。
EN:Plan your next move. Carefully.
翻譯:規劃你的下一步。要謹慎。
在即時對話中組織思緒時，可作為一個短暫的停頓填充詞，引出接下來需要謹慎處理的動作或決定。 EN: So, what I think we should do is... carefully... review all the data first. 翻譯: 所以，我認為我們應該做的是…仔細地…先審查所有數據。
EN:I want you to... carefully... listen to what he has to say.
翻譯:我要你…仔細地…聽聽他怎麼說。
正式寫作注意：在正式或學術寫作中，應避免將「carefully」用作停頓填充詞（如「停頓填充」部分所示），這會讓行文顯得鬆散、不連貫。應將其緊密融入句子結構中，例如寫成「We must carefully examine the evidence」而非插入停頓。

×He is a carefully driver.
✓He is a careful driver.
混淆形容詞與副詞。修飾名詞（driver）時應使用形容詞 'careful'，而非副詞 'carefully'。
×He drives carefully his car.
✓He drives his car carefully.
副詞 'carefully' 通常置於受詞（his car）之後，而非動詞與受詞之間。
×Please listen carefully to me carefully.
✓Please listen to me carefully.
重複使用 'carefully' 顯得多餘。通常一個動詞搭配一個方式副詞即可。
×You should handle the glass careful.
✓You should handle the glass carefully.
修飾動詞（handle）時，應使用副詞形式 'carefully'（以 -ly 結尾），而非形容詞 'careful'。
×He is carefully with his words.
✓He is careful with his words.
在 be 動詞（is）之後，應使用形容詞 'careful' 來描述主詞的狀態，而非副詞 'carefully'。
×He looked at the picture carefullyly.
✓He looked at the picture carefully.
'carefully' 已是正確的副詞形式，不應再加 '-ly'。'carefullyly' 是錯誤的拼寫。
