secretly
🇺🇸 /sˈikɹɪtli/
副词,表示某个动作或行为在不让别人知道的情况下进行,即“秘密地、暗中地”。
💡 记忆钩子
把一个动作想象成躲在帘子后面进行:动作本身照常发生,但旁人看不见,于是“秘密”变成“秘密地做某事”,就是 secretly。
📝 学习建议
- 先记住它修饰动作,常放在动词后或句末;不要把它当作表示“秘密”的名词。

core 秘密地;暗中📖 指做某事时有意避开他人的注意,不让别人发现;重点是动作进行得很隐蔽。💡 常用结构是“动词 + secretly”,例如 secretly plan、secretly meet;也可以放在动词前。它多用于叙述隐瞒进行的行为,正式和日常语境都能使用。不要只把它译成“偷偷地”而忽略上下文中的隐秘目的。not-comparableThey secretly planned a surprise party for their mother.他们暗中为母亲策划了一场惊喜派对。She secretly checked the message while everyone was talking.大家说话时,她偷偷看了一眼那条消息。
