Supernaturally is the adverb from supernatural. It describes something happening in a way that nature cannot explain — by gods, spirits, or magic. "The door supernaturally opened" means no wind, no person, no reason we can point to: something outside nature did it. But in real speech, this strict meaning is actually the rarer one. Most of the time people use supernaturally as a strong "amazingly", when something is so far beyond normal that it feels like magic — even though everyone knows it is not. "She is supernaturally calm." "He's supernaturally lucky." Nobody thinks a ghost is involved. It is a way of saying "so much that it is a bit ", with a touch of wonder or . The word sounds a little literary. It suits stories, film reviews, and lively writing more than everyday chat, where people just say "weirdly" or "unbelievably".
超自然地;(引申)好得不像真的、簡直神了。日常誇張用法比「鬼神」的原意更常見。
組成supernatural + -ly. Inside supernatural: super- "above, beyond" (Latin super) + natural. So, literally "above nature" — beyond what nature can do. The ending -ly turns an adjective into an adverb, telling you how something happens.
