1. 1

    Humanely is the adverb of humane. If you treat someone humanely, you are not cruel, and you try not to make them suffer more than they have to. You can treat animals humanely, run a prison more humanely, or end an animal's life humanely — that last use is common and a little heavy: it means the death is made as gentle as death can be.

    Humanely人道地 is是 the adverb of humane是 humane(人道的)的副詞。If you treat someone humanely如果你人道地對待某人, you你 are not cruel不是殘忍的, and而且 you你 try not to make them suffer more than they have to會盡量不讓對方受到不必要的痛苦。You你 can treat animals humanely可以人道地對待動物、 run a prison more humanely把監獄管理得更人道、 or end an animal's life humanely或人道地結束一隻動物的生命 — that last use最後這個用法 is common and a little heavy很常見,但語氣有點沉重: it它 means指的是 the death死亡 is made as gentle as death can be被弄得盡量溫和,減少痛苦。

    The word is a little formal. It is humane plus -ly.

    The word這個字 is a little formal語氣有點正式。It它 is是 humane plus -ly由 humane 加上 -ly 構成的。

    It looks like humanly, and they are a piecewise : the pieces match, but humanly in modern English usually means in a way a human can do (as in humanly possible), not kindly. Mix those two and the sentence quietly changes meaning.

    It它 looks like長得很像 humanly humanly 這個字, and而且 they are a piecewise doublet兩者是「同素異義的雙生詞」: the pieces match拼法一樣, but但是 humanly humanly 在現代英文裡 in modern English usually means通常指的是 in a way a human can do人做得到的方式 (as in humanly possible就像 humanly possible 這個用法) not kindly而不是「仁慈地」。Mix those two把這兩個字搞混 and the sentence quietly changes meaning句子的意思就會悄悄變掉。
