entirely
★★★
🇺🇸 /ɪntˈaɪɚli/
🇬🇧 /ɪnˈtaɪəli/
entirely 是副词，表示“完全地、彻底地”，也可强调某事只归于某人或某一方面。
💡 记忆钩子
把整个东西一块不剩地包住，就是“完全地”；如果这整块责任或原因只落在一个人或一方面身上，就引申为“完全归于、只由……承担”。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“完全地、彻底地”这一核心意思，再理解“完全归于某人或某方面”的用法。
- 不要把 entirely 只机械理解成“整个地”；它通常修饰形容词、动词或短语，强调程度或归属。

core 完全地；彻底地📖 表示某种状态或行为达到完整程度，没有留下例外或剩余部分；可以把它想成把整个范围都包住了。💡 常用模式是 entirely + 形容词，如 entirely different，也可以说 entirely agree 或 be entirely certain。它主要强调程度，不等于“很”这种一般性的加强，也不要把它直接当作形容词使用。与否定词连用时，要根据整体句意理解，不能只按“完全”逐字翻译。not-comparableThe two plans are entirely different.这两个计划完全不同。I entirely agree with your suggestion.我完全同意你的建议。
-
common 完全归于；只由……承担📖 表示责任、原因或选择完全落在某一个人或方面，没有别人分担；这里的“完整”变成了“全部归给这一方”。💡 常见模式是 be entirely to blame、be entirely due to 或 entirely up to someone。它强调责任、原因或决定权的唯一归属，不能简单理解为普通的“非常”。在责任表达中，通常放在 be 后、相关短语前。not-comparableThe decision is entirely up to you.这个决定完全由你决定。
