Wiktionary

Note on the data: this entry is filed under the adverb loudly, but all four senses listed are the ADJECTIVE loud (a loud noise, a loud person, a loud shirt, loud in his praise). The map below therefore describes loud; loudly is simply its adverb form, used to say how an action is done (she laughed loudly). The image itself: something pushing itself on your senses harder than the things around it — first through the ears, then through the eyes and through sheer presence.

先說明資料上的狀況：這一筆掛在副詞 loudly 底下，但列出的四個意思其實都是形容詞 loud 的（a loud noise、a loud person、a loud shirt、loud in his praise）。下面這張圖描述的是 loud；loudly 是它的副詞形式，用來說明動作「怎麼做」，例如 She laughed loudly。至於畫面本身，可以想成：一個東西比周圍的一切都更用力地擠進你的感官——先是從耳朵進來，接著從眼睛進來，最後連一個人的存在感也能這樣擠進來。
