核心畫面

One way to hold this word: heartily is doing something with the whole heart put in. The energy is not hidden — you can hear it in the laugh, the greeting, the singing, and you can see it at the dinner table. From that same picture the word can also measure feeling: if the whole heart is in your agreeing or your disliking, then you agree or dislike completely.

可以想成「整顆心都放進去」的樣子。笑、打招呼、唱歌、吃飯,只要心整個投進去,聽的人、看的人都感覺得到那股勁。這個畫面更多收起可以想成「整顆心都放進去」的樣子。笑、打招呼、唱歌、吃飯,只要心整個投進去,聽的人、看的人都感覺得到那股勁。這個畫面往兩邊長:一邊是動作做得有勁又開心,一邊是感覺滿到沒有保留——連心都算進去了,所以是「完全、十分」。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary gives Middle English hertely, from Old English ġeheortlīċe 'whole-heartedly, vigorously', equivalent to hearty + -ly. The old sense 'whole-heartedly' sits directly under both modern uses.

來源記載它來自中古英語 hertely,更早是古英文 ġeheortlīċe(全心地、有勁地),等於 hearty 加上 -ly。這個舊意思「全心地」正好同時撐起今天的兩種用法。

Two branches

做得有勁、看得出開心

這一族最貼近核心畫面:心整個投進動作裡,於是那股勁跑到外面來,被別人聽見、看見。

r · B2

In a way that shows plenty of energy, warmth and enjoyment, so that the good feeling can be heard or seen in what the person does or says.

開懷地;熱情地

程度滿到沒有保留

如果整顆心都放進「同意」或「討厭」裡,那就沒有剩下的部分了——所以同樣的畫面在這裡變成了程度:完全、十分。

r · B2

Completely, or very much — used with verbs like agree, recommend, welcome and dislike, and in 'be heartily sick of something', to show the feeling is full, with nothing held back.

十分;由衷地
