Doing something vigorously means doing it with a lot of physical force and energy — shaking your head vigorously, rubbing a stain vigorously, exercising vigorously. The body is really moving.

Doing something vigorously means doing it with a lot of physical force and energyvigorously 做某件事，意思是用很大的力氣和精力去做—— shaking your head vigorously, rubbing a stain vigorously, exercising vigorouslyvigorously 搖頭、vigorously 用力搓污漬、vigorously 運動。 The body is really moving身體是真的在動。

But it has a second, very common use where no body moves at all: when someone argues, denies, defends or opposes something vigorously, they do it strongly and without backing down. Newspapers love this one — 'the company vigorously denied the report' is almost a fixed phrase.

But it has a second, very common use where no body moves at all但它還有第二種很常見的用法，這時候身體完全沒有在動： when someone argues, denies, defends or opposes something vigorously當有人 vigorously 地爭辯、否認、辯護、或反對某件事時， they do it strongly and without backing down意思是他做得很強烈、不肯讓步。 Newspapers love this one報紙特別愛用這種說法—— 'the company vigorously denied the report' is almost a fixed phrase『the company vigorously denied the report』該公司強烈否認這則報導幾乎已經是固定用語了。

Notice that vigorously is nearly always positive or neutral about the effort, even when the action is a fight; it says 'with real force', not 'angrily' and not 'rudely'. It goes most naturally with verbs of doing (shake, stir, rub, exercise, campaign, deny, defend, oppose), not with verbs of feeling — you do not love someone vigorously.

Notice that vigorously is nearly always positive or neutral about the effort, even when the action is a fight注意，即使動作是在吵架，vigorously 對那股力氣的評價幾乎都是正面或中性的； it says 'with real force', not 'angrily' and not 'rudely'它說的是『真的很用力』，不是『生氣地』，也不是『粗魯地』。 It goes most naturally with verbs of doing (shake, stir, rub, exercise, campaign, deny, defend, oppose)它最自然搭配的是『做』的動詞（shake搖、stir攪、rub搓、exercise運動、campaign造勢、deny否認、defend辯護、oppose反對）， not with verbs of feeling而不是『感受』的動詞—— you do not love someone vigorously你不會說 vigorously 地愛一個人。
