Adroitly is how you do something when you are clever and about it, especially with words or with a socially awkward moment. Someone who changes the subject adroitly does it so that people hardly notice they have been steered. It has the same dressy, slightly formal feel as adroit — more at home in writing and news than in “She did it adroitly” at the dinner table, where or would sound more natural. The skill it points to is often quiet: not showing off, just landing on your feet.
機敏地、巧妙地
