×The location is very conveniently.
✓The location is very convenient.
"Conveniently" 是副詞,用來修飾動詞、形容詞或其他副詞,描述「以方便的方式」。這裡需要的是形容詞 "convenient" 來描述主詞 "location" 的性質。
×He forgot his keys conveniently on the table.
✓He conveniently forgot his keys on the table.
副詞 "conveniently" 的位置會改變句意。放在動詞 "forgot" 前,表示「他(為了自己方便)『恰巧』忘了帶鑰匙」,帶有諷刺或暗示故意的意味。放在句尾則會變成描述『他把鑰匙忘在桌上』這個動作本身很『方便』,語意不合理。
×It's easy and conveniently to use this app.
✓This app is easy and convenient to use.
"Easy" (容易) 和 "convenient" (方便) 是形容詞,應並列使用。"Conveniently" 是副詞,不能與形容詞 "easy" 並列來修飾名詞 "app"。應使用形容詞形式,並調整句子結構。
×The data is stored conveniently for access.
✓The data is stored conveniently for easy access.
單獨使用 "for access" 語意不完整,聽起來只是「為了存取」,沒有傳達出「方便」的結果。應加上形容詞如 "easy" 或 "quick" 來完整表達「為了方便/快速存取」。
×Conveniently, I think we should leave now.
✓Perhaps we should leave now.
"Conveniently" 用於句首時,通常表示後續描述的情況對說話者來說是「來得正好」或「恰巧」,帶有輕微的諷刺或巧合意味。它不應被當作 "perhaps" 或 "maybe" 這類填充詞使用,否則會造成語意混淆。
