Right and rightly can both be used as adverbs. In the sense 'correctly' or 'in the right way', right is the usual adverb. It is only used after verbs. * right 和 rightly 均可用作副词。表示正确地、恰当地,则通常用副词 right;此词只用于动词之后:◆He did it right.他做得对。◆Did I spell your name right?你的名字我拼得对不对?Rightly cannot be used like this. In formal language correctly is used.上述用法不能用 rightly,在正式用语中可用 correctly:◆Is your name spelled correctly?你的名字拼正确了吗?
The usual meaning of rightly is 'for a good reason' and it comes before an adjective. * rightly 的通常意义为理所当然地,用于形容词前:◆They are rightly proud of their children.他们当然为他们的孩子而骄傲。It can be used to mean 'correctly' before a verb or in particular phrases.该词亦可表示正确地,用于动词前或某些短语中:◆As you rightly say, we have a serious problem.你说得对,我们有严重困难。In NAmErightly is not at all common.在美式英语中 rightly 一点也不常用。
