Purposefully is how you do something when the aim is clear in the way you do it. You walk purposefully towards the door: your body already knows where it is going. You listen purposefully: you are not just waiting for your turn to speak.

Purposefully is how you do somethingPurposefully 講的是你做一件事的方式—— when the aim is clear in the way you do it做的時候，目的很清楚地表現出來。You walk purposefully towards the door你 purposefully 走向門口： your body already knows where it is going你的身體早就知道要往哪裡去。You listen purposefully你 purposefully 聽別人說話： you are not just waiting for your turn to speak你不是只在等著輪到自己說話。

Careful teachers like a clean split: purposely = you meant to do it (it was not an accident); purposefully = you did it in a determined, aim-filled way.

Careful teachers like a clean split講究的老師喜歡分得清清楚楚： purposely = you meant to do it (it was not an accident)purposely＝你是故意這麼做的(不是意外)； purposefully = you did it in a determined, aim-filled waypurposefully＝你做的時候態度堅定、目的十足。

Though actually, a lot of native speakers use purposefully for both, and you will see that in print. In exams and careful writing, keep the split. In the wild, do not be surprised if the two wander into each other’s rooms.

Though actually不過其實， a lot of native speakers use purposefully for both很多母語者兩個意思都用 purposefully 來表達， and you will see that in print你在印刷品裡也會看到這種用法。In exams and careful writing在考試和講究的寫作裡， keep the split就把這個區別保留下來。In the wild在日常真實使用裡， do not be surprised if the two wander into each other's rooms這兩個字跑進彼此的房間也不用太意外。
