/ˌθiːəˈretɪkli/ · /θɪəˈretɪkli/
'Theoretically' means 'according to the idea or theory' — what should happen if everything works the way it's supposed to, even if real life often turns out differently. People often say it to point out a gap between the plan and reality: 'Theoretically, the bus comes every ten minutes' hints that in practice, it doesn't.
理論上(來說)
組成theoretical + -ly (turns an adjective into an adverb).
