Tauntingly describes HOW someone speaks or acts when they are deliberately trying to upset or anger another person — saying things, again and again, often with a smile, often to get a reaction. The key idea is that the person enjoys it. A taunt is not just a rude remark; it is one aimed at a sore spot, repeated to provoke. So 'he smiled tauntingly' means the smile itself was doing the work of the insult. You will meet this word most in stories rather than in conversation — it is a writer's word. In real speech people say 'he was teasing me' (light, friendly) or 'he was winding me up' (British) or 'she was rubbing it in'. Note the difference from 'teasingly': teasing can be between friends, while taunting is meant to hurt.
嘲弄地、挑釁地(帶著故意激怒對方的意思,比「開玩笑地」重)
