    Genetically means “in a way that has to do with genes” — the tiny instructions inside living things that help decide how they grow and what they pass to their children.

    Genetically meansGenetically的意思是 'in a way that has to do with genes'「跟基因有關的」 — the tiny instructions inside living things那些存在於生物體內的微小指令 that help decide how they grow and what they pass to their children這些指令幫忙決定牠們怎麼長大、會把什麼傳給後代。

    Scientists say two people are genetically related when they share family genes; a crop may be genetically changed so that it does not die from a bug. You will also hear it in news about illness: a disease may be genetically passed on, meaning it can run in a family because of genes, not because of a cold you catch.

    Scientists say two people are genetically related科學家會說兩個人genetically related(基因上有親屬關係) when they share family genes表示他們共享家族的基因; a crop may be genetically changed一種作物可能被genetically changed(基因上被改造過) so that it does not die from a bug這樣它就不會被蟲害弄死。You will also hear it in news about illness你在講疾病的新聞裡也會聽到這個詞: a disease may be genetically passed on一種疾病可能是genetically passed on(透過基因遺傳下去)的, meaning it can run in a family because of genes意思是它會因為基因而在家族裡流傳, not because of a cold you catch而不是像感冒那樣被傳染。

    The word belongs with science, medicine, and careful news talk. Though actually, people sometimes use it as a joke for “by nature” or “from birth” even when they are not talking about real genes at all (“I’m genetically messy”). That is play, not careful talk.

    The word belongs with science, medicine, and careful news talk這個字屬於科學、醫學和嚴謹的新聞用語。Though actually, people sometimes use it as a joke不過其實,人們有時候會開玩笑地用它 for 'by nature' or 'from birth'來表示「天生」或「生來就」 even when they are not talking about real genes at all即使他們根本沒有在講真正的基因 ('I'm genetically messy')(像「I'm genetically messy」,我生來就很邋遢)。That is play, not careful talk那是玩笑話,不是嚴謹的說法。

    The adverb does not mean “usually”; that is generally, a completely different word that only looks a little like it.

    The adverb does not mean 'usually'這個副詞不是「通常」的意思; that is generally那是generally, a completely different word that only looks a little like it一個長得有點像但完全不同的字。
