用法說明

How is "Decreasingly" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Decreasingly"?

decreasingly + adjective vs. decreasingly + verb

  • decreasingly + adjective 是標準用法,表示「越來越不…」,用來修飾一個形容詞描述的狀態或品質。
  • decreasingly + verb 在文法上不正確。decreasingly 是副詞,修飾形容詞或另一個副詞,不能直接修飾主要動詞。
  • 若要表達「做某事的頻率或程度在減少」,應使用其他結構,如 less and less + 動詞,或 decreasingly + 形容詞化的動名詞(如 decreasingly common)。
  • 避免創造如 decreasingly to dowould decreasingly to + V 的結構,這些並非標準英語。 EN: The evidence for this theory is decreasingly convincing. 翻譯: 支持這個理論的證據越來越缺乏說服力。

EN:He is decreasingly interested in the project.

翻譯:他對這個專案的興趣正逐漸減少。

總結建議

建議將 decreasingly 僅用於修飾形容詞(如 decreasingly important),以表達「越來越不…」的概念,避免將其與動詞原形直接連用。
