When something is delightfully quiet, or a person is delightfully honest, you mean it gives a light, warm kind of pleasure — charming, pleasant, a small surprise of how nice it is. This word describes the thing or the way, not the person feeling the joy. A soup can be delightfully light; a village can be delightfully small. It is friendly and a bit literary: reviews, stories, and polite praise use it more than very casual talk. If you mix it up with , you put the happy feeling on the wrong side.
令人愉快地、美妙地(形容事物或方式,不是人自己開心)

delightfullyadv

In a delightful manner.
- The result, disappointingly, is a scattershot work that is, by turns, entertaining and wearisome, energetic and hokey, delightfully evocative and cheaply sensational; dead-on in its conjuring of zeitgeist-y atmospherics, but often slow-footed and ham-handed in its orchestration of social details.
