核心畫面

One way to hold it: instead of trusting how a thing seems, you test it and measure it, and you let what comes back decide. The word points at that way of working — and, by extension, at whatever the testing has shown so far.

面對一件事，你不靠「看起來像這樣」來下判斷，而是去測、去量，然後讓測出來的東西替你決定。scientifically…更多收起面對一件事，你不靠「看起來像這樣」來下判斷，而是去測、去量，然後讓測出來的東西替你決定。scientifically 指的就是這種做事的方式。從這個畫面出發，它可以往兩個方向走：一個是「就科學查到的結果來說」（結論那一端），一個是把測量與檢驗背後那份講究、有步驟的態度借去形容一般的做事方法（方法那一端）——後者甚至可以完全跟科學無關。

Two branches

用科學的方式／就科學而言

這一族貼著核心：真的動用科學——不是用科學的方法去做，就是拿科學已知的結果來說話。

scientifically, by scientific method · r · B2

In a way that uses the methods of science, such as testing and measuring; also used to say what something is like when you go by what science knows.

科學地；就科學上來說

有系統、有章法（與科學無關）

科學方法之所以可靠，是因為它有步驟、不憑感覺；把這份「有章法」單獨借出來，就成了這個與科學無關的用法。

scientifically, systematically · r · C1

In a careful, organized way, following a clear system instead of just guessing. This use has nothing to do with science.

有系統地；有條有理地
