話裡的熱
熱跑到嘴上：反應快、力道強，話一出口就帶著火。

If someone says or answers something hotly, they say it with strong feeling — angry, or excited, and quick to push back at what they have just heard.
激動地、強烈地
核心畫面
Think of heat moving out of the weather and into the way a person acts. A voice that has heat in it snaps back before you finish speaking; a chase that has heat in it stays right on your heels. Hotly never tells you the temperature of anything — it tells you how much heat went into the doing: the quick angry answer, and the hard, close-pressed effort.
可以想成熱度從天氣搬進了人的動作裡。帶著熱的聲音，會在你話還沒說完就頂回來；帶著熱的追逐，會一直貼在你腳後跟。hot…更多收起
可以想成熱度從天氣搬進了人的動作裡。帶著熱的聲音，會在你話還沒說完就頂回來；帶著熱的追逐，會一直貼在你腳後跟。hotly 從來不是在講溫度，而是在講做這件事時放了多少熱進去——一種是脫口而出的火氣，一種是咬得很緊的拚勁。From the word’s history
From Old English hātlīċe, meaning ardently or fervently; simply hot plus the ending -ly. The word has described heat in people's behaviour, not in things, for a very long time.
來自古英文 hātlīċe，意思是「熱切地、激烈地」，也就是 hot 加上副詞字尾 -ly。這個字很早就不是在講東西的溫度，而是在講人做事時的那股熱。

力氣裡的熱
同樣的熱，換到身體和力氣上：不是嘴上衝，而是追得緊、搶得兇。

Used to say that something is done with a lot of energy and effort, with people pushing hard against each other. The common ones are hotly contested, fought over hard, and hotly pursued, chased closely.
激烈地、拚命地
