    'Wonderfully' has two jobs, and they are close but not the same. First, it means 'very well' — 'She sings wonderfully', 'The plan worked wonderfully'. Here it tells you how something was done, and it is warm praise.

    'Wonderfully'「Wonderfully」 has two jobs有兩種用法, and而且 they are close but not the same兩種很接近但不完全一樣。 First第一種, it它 means 'very well'意思是「很好地」—— 'She sings wonderfully'像「She sings wonderfully」(她唱得很棒)、 'The plan worked wonderfully'「The plan worked wonderfully」(計畫進行得非常順利)。 Here在這裡, it它 tells you how something was done告訴你一件事是怎麼完成的, and而且 it它 is warm praise是一種溫暖的讚美。

    Second, it works like 'very' in front of an adjective, to push it up high: 'wonderfully clear', 'wonderfully cheap', 'wonderfully quiet'. In this second use the speaker is not only measuring the amount, they are saying they are pleased about it. That is the key: 'wonderfully' always carries good feeling.

    Second第二種用法, it它 works like 'very'的作用像「very」一樣 in front of an adjective放在形容詞前面, to push it up high把程度往上推: 'wonderfully clear'像「wonderfully clear」(非常清楚)、 'wonderfully cheap'「wonderfully cheap」(便宜得不得了)、 'wonderfully quiet'「wonderfully quiet」(安靜得很棒)。 In this second use在這第二種用法裡, the speaker說話的人 is not only measuring the amount不只是在衡量程度, they是 are saying在表達 they are pleased about it他們對這件事感到高興。 That is the key這就是關鍵所在: 'wonderfully'「wonderfully」 always carries good feeling總是帶著正面的感覺。

    So 'wonderfully cold' sounds like a happy speaker on a hot day, and 'wonderfully expensive' sounds odd unless you are joking. Though actually — the joking use is real and common. British speakers especially will say 'wonderfully unhelpful' or 'wonderfully bad' when they mean the opposite, and the good word next to the bad one is the signal that they are being dry.

    So所以 'wonderfully cold'「wonderfully cold」 sounds like聽起來像 a happy speaker on a hot day一個在大熱天覺得開心的人在說話, and而 'wonderfully expensive'「wonderfully expensive」 sounds odd聽起來很怪 unless you are joking除非你是在開玩笑。 Though actually不過事實上—— the joking use開玩笑的這種用法 is real and common是真實存在而且很常見的。 British speakers英國人 especially尤其 will say會說 'wonderfully unhelpful' or 'wonderfully bad'「wonderfully unhelpful」或「wonderfully bad」 when they mean the opposite來表達完全相反的意思, and而且 the good word next to the bad one好詞放在壞詞旁邊 is the signal that they are being dry就是他們在說反話、耍冷的信號。

    The word feels a little more written, a little more polite, than 'really well' or 'super'. In casual speech among young people you would more often hear 'so good' or 'amazing'.

    than比 'really well' or 'super'「really well」或「super」, the word這個詞 feels a little more written, a little more polite感覺更書面一點、也更有禮貌一點。 In casual speech among young people在年輕人的日常口語裡, you would more often hear你比較常聽到的是 'so good' or 'amazing'「so good」或「amazing」。
