把音樂當成一把尺
兩個意思用的是同一把尺，只是量的東西不一樣：一個量聲音，一個量一件事的某一面。

像音樂般地

One way to hold this word: -ly turns 'musical' into a line you can lay against something. Lay it against a sound, and you are asking how close that sound comes to music — does it have rhythm, do the tones rise and fall, is it pleasant? Lay it against a whole thing, a film or a show, and you are asking about only its music side, with everything else set down for a moment.

可以想成 -ly 把 musical 變成一把尺，你拿它去量東西。把尺放在一個聲音上，問的是：這個聲音離音樂有多近？有沒有節奏？高低有沒有起伏？好不好聽？把尺放在一整件事情上，像一部電影、一場表演，問的就變成：它音樂的那一面怎麼樣？這時候故事、畫面、演技都先放到一邊。同一把尺，差別只在你拿它去量什麼。From the word’s history
Wiktionary gives 'From Middle English musicallye, musikili; equivalent to musical + -ly.' The -ly ending is what turns the adjective into a manner or a respect, which is exactly the two things the word does today.
來源證據寫著：來自中古英語 musicallye、musikili，相當於 musical 加上 -ly。-ly 這個字尾把形容詞變成「一種方式」或「一個角度」，這正好就是這個字今天的兩種用法。
