    Sufficiently means enough — but enough for a purpose, not enough in general.

    Sufficiently Sufficiently means指的是 enough夠了——but enough for a purpose不過是為了某個目的而夠, not enough in general不是泛泛地夠。

    It sits in front of an adjective or an adverb (sufficiently large, sufficiently well) and it almost always looks forward to what the enough is for, either spelled out with to or for, or clearly understood: "She was sufficiently strong to lift it", "The wound had healed sufficiently for her to go home". Where enough follows the word it changes (strong enough), sufficiently goes in front (sufficiently strong) — that swap is the single thing get wrong most.

    It sits in front of它會放在 an adjective or an adverb形容詞或副詞前面(sufficiently large足夠大, sufficiently well足夠好) and it almost always looks forward to而且幾乎都會指向後面 what the enough is for這個「夠」是為了什麼, either spelled out with to or for不管是用to或for講清楚, or clearly understood還是靠上下文看得出來: "She was sufficiently strong to lift it"她夠強壯,能把它舉起來, "The wound had healed sufficiently for her to go home"傷口已經癒合到足夠讓她出院了。 Where enough follows the word it changes在enough放在它修飾的字後面的地方(strong enough夠強), sufficiently goes in front sufficiently卻放在前面(sufficiently strong足夠強)——that swap is the single thing learners get wrong most這個位置對調正是學習者最常搞錯的地方。

    It is formal: reports, instructions, science writing, careful speech. In ordinary conversation people say enough.

    It is noticeably formal它明顯偏正式: reports, instructions, science writing, careful speech報告、說明、科學寫作、謹慎的談話裡。 In ordinary conversation在一般對話裡 people say enough大家會說enough。

    It also carries a faint sense of a standard being met, of someone checking, which is why you find it in rules and test conditions. Used alone at the end of a clause it means "to the needed degree": "The plan was not explained sufficiently."

    It also carries它還帶著 a faint sense of a standard being met一種「有沒有達到標準」的隱約意味, of someone checking有人在檢查的感覺, which is why you find it in rules and test conditions這也是為什麼它常出現在規定和測驗條件裡。 Used alone at the end of a clause單獨放在子句最後用時 it means指的是 "to the needed degree"到需要的程度: "The plan was not explained sufficiently."這個計畫沒有充分說明。

    看看訂閱內容

組成sufficient + -ly. The ending -ly turns an adjective into an adverb, the way quick becomes quickly. Sufficient itself comes from Latin sufficere, built from sub- (under) and facere (to make or do) — to make something up from underneath, to supply what is lacking.
