1. 1

    Very — but with a special flavour. It literally says 'in a way you do not often meet', so when you call someone uncommonly kind, you are saying their kindness is above what you usually see.

    Very非常—— but with a special flavour但帶著一種特別的味道。 It literally says 'in a way you do not often meet'它字面上說的是「用一種不常見的方式」, so when you call someone uncommonly kind所以當你說某人uncommonly kind, you are saying their kindness is above what you usually see你是在說他的善良超出你平常見到的程度。

    It only strengthens and other (uncommonly tall, uncommonly well), and it goes with good qualities far more often than bad ones: uncommonly beautiful, uncommonly clever, uncommonly generous. You would not usually say 'uncommonly stupid' — for that a speaker reaches for a different word.

    It only strengthens adjectives and other adverbs它只用來加強形容詞和其他副詞的語氣 (uncommonly tall, uncommonly well)(uncommonly tall格外高、uncommonly well格外好), and it goes with good qualities far more often than bad ones而且跟好的特質搭配的頻率遠高於壞的: uncommonly beautiful, uncommonly clever, uncommonly generousuncommonly beautiful格外美、uncommonly clever格外聰明、uncommonly generous格外慷慨。 You would not usually say 'uncommonly stupid'你通常不會說「uncommonly stupid」—— for that a speaker reaches for a different word要說那個意思,說話的人會改用別的字。

    The register is formal and slightly old-fashioned, the voice of a book review or an older, well-read speaker; in ordinary conversation people say really, very, or incredibly. Its cousin remarkably is the modern everyday choice.

    The register is formal and slightly old-fashioned這個字的語氣正式又有點老派, the voice of a book review or an older, well-read speaker像書評的口吻,或博學年長者說話的樣子; in ordinary conversation people say really, very, or incredibly平常對話裡大家會說really、very或incredibly。 Its cousin remarkably is the modern everyday choice它的近親remarkably才是現代日常會選用的字。

    There is a second, plainer use that just means 'rarely' ('he uncommonly speaks of his childhood'), but that one is rare itself and sounds awkward to modern ears — you can safely ignore it.

    There is a second, plainer use還有第二個比較樸素的用法, that just means 'rarely'意思就只是「很少」 ('he uncommonly speaks of his childhood')(「he uncommonly speaks of his childhood他很少提起自己的童年」), but that one is rare itself但這個用法本身就很少見, and sounds awkward to modern ears聽在現代人耳裡也覺得彆扭—— you can safely ignore it你可以放心不用理它。
