partly, partially
这两个副词共同的意思是“部分地”,有时可以互换。它们的区别是:
partly着重数量上的“部分”; partially着重程度上的“有限”; partly的反义词是wholly, partially的反义词是completely。另外, partly还可表示“在一定程度上”,而partially无此义。例如:
I admit that what you say is partly〔partially〕 true.我承认你说的部分是真实的。
It was partly my fault, and partly yours.这事一部分是我的错,一部分是你的错。
His lecture only partly covered the subject and that part partially.他只部分地讲了那个问题,而且讲到的那部分也说得很有限。
