用法說明
How is "Dramatically" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Dramatically"?
dramatically 的修飾位置：句首 vs. 句中
- dramatically 置於句首時，通常用來強調整個句子或事件的戲劇性轉變，語氣較強，常與句子主詞以逗號隔開。
- dramatically 置於句中動詞前時，主要修飾緊隨其後的動詞，描述該動作是以戲劇性的方式進行。
- 當修飾形容詞或副詞比較級（如
dramatically higher）時，通常直接置於被修飾詞之前。 - 在正式寫作中，將
dramatically置於句首時，需確保其修飾的邏輯主語與句子主語一致，以避免懸垂修飾語的錯誤。 EN: Dramatically, the company's fortunes changed after the new CEO took over. 翻譯: 戲劇性地，在新任執行長接手後，公司的命運徹底改變了。
EN:The company's fortunes changed dramatically after the new CEO took over.

總結建議
一般情況下，將 dramatically 置於所修飾的動詞、形容詞或副詞之前最為清晰自然，若想特別強調整個事件的戲劇性，則可考慮將其置於句首。
