Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

很常放在句首:'Hopefully, ...'。傳統文法書有時會反對這種整句副詞的用法,但現在這種說法很標準、很自然。它也可以表示本義,如 'She looked at him hopefully.'。不要和 'hopeful' 混淆,後者通常是形容詞。

Examples

Hopefully, the bus will come soon.

**但願**公車快點來。

She smiled hopefully at the teacher.

她**滿懷希望地**對老師笑了笑。

Hopefully, we can finish today.
