deliberately vs intentionally
兩者皆表示「故意地」,但 'deliberately' 更強調經過深思熟慮或刻意為之的過程,有時帶有負面意涵。'intentionally' 則較中性,僅表示有目的的行為。
deliberately vs purposely
'deliberately' 與 'purposely' 常可互換,但 'deliberately' 更強調「刻意」的意志,而 'purposely' 更側重「為了特定目的」。
deliberately vs consciously
'deliberately' 指有意的行為,常帶意志力;'consciously' 指在意識清醒、知曉的狀態下進行,不一定有強烈意圖。

EN:She was like, "I didn't forget; I deliberately chose not to reply."
翻譯:她當時說:「我沒忘記,我是故意選擇不回覆的。」

EN:They ignored the warning signs. They went ahead deliberately."
翻譯:他們無視那些警告標誌。是蓄意繼續進行的。

×He did it deliberately to hurt her feelings.
✓He did it deliberately to hurt her feelings.
雖然句子本身正確,但學習者常誤以為 'deliberately' 與 'on purpose' 用法完全相同,在任何語境下都可互換。實際上,'deliberately' 語氣更正式,且常暗示經過深思熟慮,有時帶有負面含義。
×She speaks deliberately slow.
✓She speaks deliberately slowly.
'Deliberately' 是副詞,修飾動詞 'speaks'。而描述她說話的『方式』或『狀態』需用副詞 'slowly' 來修飾,不能用形容詞 'slow'。
×It was a deliberately act.
✓It was a deliberate act.
'Deliberately' 是副詞,用於修飾動詞、形容詞或其他副詞。修飾名詞 'act' 時,應使用形容詞形式 'deliberate'。
×I am sorry, I didn't do it deliberately.
✓I am sorry, I didn't do it on purpose.
在口語道歉或辯解非故意時,使用 'on purpose' 更自然、更常見。使用 'deliberately' 在此情境下雖然文法正確,但聽起來較為正式且不自然,甚至可能削弱道歉的誠意。
×She deliberately always arrives late.
✓She always arrives late deliberately. / She deliberately arrives late every time.
副詞 'always' 與 'deliberately' 在句中的位置可能影響語意焦點。將 'always' 置於 'deliberately' 之前,可能產生不自然或模糊的語意。通常將表示頻率的副詞(如 always)置於主要動詞前,或將 'deliberately' 置於句末以強調意圖。
