- 1間接地、透過他人（經歷或感受）
Vicariously is the adverb of : it says you feel or enjoy something through someone else's experience rather than your own. You use it with verbs of feeling and living — enjoy something vicariously, experience it vicariously, and above all live vicariously through someone. That last phrase is by far the most common way English speakers use this word, and it usually means one person is getting the excitement of a life they are not living: a retired coach living vicariously through the young team, a parent living vicariously through a child. Said about parents it is often a soft criticism — the parent is putting their own unfinished dreams on the child. But the word can also be perfectly warm: 'I'm travelling vicariously through your Instagram' is a friendly compliment to someone on holiday, and people say it as a small joke all the time. Position in the sentence is flexible; it usually comes right after the verb ('she enjoyed it vicariously') or before 'through'. It is slightly formal, but the 'live vicariously through' phrase has become everyday and even a bit fashionable online.
組成vicarious + -ly. The ending -ly turns an adjective into an adverb, so it means 'in a vicarious way'.
