核心畫面

Think of it as the adverb that reports how something turned out: the doing was poor — careless, unskilled, or simply not good enough — so the result comes out flawed. He sings badly; the shelf was badly made. From that 'poor quality' picture the word can also swing to pure intensity: if something is badly damaged or badly needed, the word stops judging the skill and just measures how far things have gone.

可以想成一個「做出來的結果不理想」的標記:動作本身缺了心、缺了技巧,或就是不夠好,所以成品跟著歪掉——he sing更多收起可以想成一個「做出來的結果不理想」的標記:動作本身缺了心、缺了技巧,或就是不夠好,所以成品跟著歪掉——he sings badly(唱得很差)、a badly made shelf(做得很爛的架子)。有意思的是,這個「差」的畫面後來鬆開了評價的那一面,只留下「程度很深」:badly damaged、badly need help 裡的 badly 已經不是在說做得好不好,而是在說事情走到多嚴重的地方。
