Promptly 同 Quickly 用法有咩野分別?

我諗你唔會滿足於list字典既definition掛....

而係想知promptly同quickly係用法上有咩真正既唔同

promptly係立即,而quickly係快,咁即係點?

即係話,promptly通常用黎describe你完左一樣野之後'即刻'做另一樣野,例如
he did his homework promptly after dinner
這個example唔係好好,因為用quickly都ok
試多幾句你可能會好d:
he promptly give the wallet to the police
即係話佢拾到個銀包之後就即刻俾警察,如果用quickly就只係話佢快,但係交代唔到即刻果個意思
he promptly returned the phone call 都係用promptly會好過用quickly

quickly係話快,用黎describe個行動本身快,而promptly就冇咁既意思
例如: a jaguar runs very quickly
當然唔可以寫成a jaguar runs very promptly啦

但係如果想講隻豹一見到人就走左,就應該用promptly:
the jaguar disappeared promptly after it noticed the presence of a hunter

我諗好多時,用quickly去replace promptly係ok既,不過冇咁靚,而promptly就唔係成日都可以用黎replace quickly喇,尤其是如果你只係想形容一樣野好快,用promptly就唔o岩

Promptly
(adjective )
1. done, performed, delivered, etc., at once or without delay: a prompt reply.
2. ready in action; quick to act as occasion demands.
3. quick or alert: prompt to take offense.

Quickly

都係 basically 快 d 咁解..
Promptly - 敏捷地;迅速地;立即地
Quickly - 快,迅速地, 立即,馬上
