以有趣的方式做某件事
這是 -ly 最原本的工作,也是這個字的原點。
r · C1
In a way that holds people's attention and makes them want to know more.
有趣地
Take 'interesting' and add -ly, and you get 'in an interesting way'. That is the plain picture. From it the word grows a second job: instead of describing how one action was done, it steps to the front of the sentence and says something about the whole fact — worth noticing, this one.
Recorded as interesting + -ly, with -ly forming the ordinary manner adverb; the sentence-adverb use sits on top of that.
字典把它記成 interesting 加 -ly。-ly 原本的工作是造出「以某種方式」的副詞,而句首評論的那個用法是後來疊在上面的第二層。

對整句話下註解
同樣是「有趣」,但評的對象從一個動作放大成整件事:作者暫時走到台前,提醒讀者這一點值得注意。字典把它標為 sentence adverb。
r · C1
Used at the beginning of a sentence to show that the fact you are about to give is worth noticing, often because it is surprising or not what people would expect.
