wrongfully
🇺🇸 /ɹˈɔŋfʌli/
副词,表示以不公正、不合法或不应有的方式做某事,常用于正式或法律语境。
💡 记忆钩子
把“错误”想成一只伸错方向的手:它不只是做得不对,还可能越过界限、对别人不公,所以 wrongfully 表示“以不正当的方式”。从这个核心可以理解为既可指行为不公,也可指权利被不当地夺走。
📝 学习建议
- 学习时先把它和 wrongly 区分:wrongfully 更强调不公正、不合法或违反应有权利,而不只是一般意义上的“错误”。
📖 中文释义
adv
-
core 不正当地;不公正地📖 指某个行为违反公平、法律或应有的权利,因此不是单纯“做错了”,而是带有不当对待他人的意味。它可以描述不公正地夺取、指控、解雇或剥夺某人的东西。💡 常见句型是“wrongfully + 动词”或“be wrongfully + 过去分词”,例如表示“不公正地解雇某人”或“被错误而不当地指控”。它多用于正式书面语和法律语境;不要把它当作所有“做得不对”的场合都能使用的普通副词。The employee was wrongfully dismissed after reporting the safety problem.这名员工举报安全问题后被不公正地解雇了。The court found that the property had been wrongfully taken.法院认定这处财产曾被不正当地夺走。
