1. 1

    Just now, and only just now. Freshly is used before a past participle — freshly baked bread, freshly picked strawberries, freshly ground coffee, freshly cut grass, freshly painted walls — to say the thing was done a very short time ago, and to suggest that this is why it is good: the smell, the taste, the colour are all still at their best. That good feeling is built in, which is why shops and menus love it.

    Just now, and only just now剛剛才發生,而且是「剛剛」而已。Freshly freshly這個字 is used before a past participle用在過去分詞前面——freshly baked bread剛烤好的麵包、freshly picked strawberries剛採的草莓、freshly ground coffee剛磨好的咖啡、freshly cut grass剛割的草、freshly painted walls剛油漆好的牆——to say the thing was done a very short time ago表示這件事是很短時間前才做的,and而 to suggest that this is why it is good暗示這正是它好的原因:the smell, the taste, the colour氣味、味道、顏色 are all still at their best都還在最好的狀態。That good feeling這種好的感覺 is built in是內建在這個詞裡的,which is why shops and menus love it這也是為什麼店家和菜單都愛用它。

    It is not simply a time word; 'freshly' says 'so recently that you can still tell'.

    It它 is not simply a time word不只是個時間詞;'freshly'「freshly」 says 'so recently that you can still tell'的意思是「剛好近到你還感覺得出來」。

    Notice the shape of the phrase. Freshly nearly always sits directly in front of a past participle, and the two together act as one description before a noun. You cannot end a sentence with it — 'the bread was baked freshly' sounds wrong to an English ear; say 'freshly baked' or 'just baked'.

    Notice the shape of the phrase留意一下這個詞的用法結構。Freshly freshly nearly always幾乎總是 sits directly in front of a past participle緊接在過去分詞前面,and而 the two together act as one description before a noun兩者合在一起,在名詞前當一個整體的修飾語。You cannot end a sentence with it你不能用它來結尾一個句子——'the bread was baked freshly'「the bread was baked freshly」 sounds wrong to an English ear聽在英語人耳裡很怪;say要說 'freshly baked' or 'just baked'「freshly baked」或「just baked」。

    Writers do stretch it now and then to non-food things that are new in the same way, as in 'a freshly qualified doctor', but that is less common.

    Writers do stretch it作家有時候會延伸用它 now and then to non-food things that are new in the same way用在同樣意義上「新」的非食物事物,as in 'a freshly qualified doctor'像「a freshly qualified doctor」(剛取得資格的醫生),but而 that is less common這比較少見。
