近義字

lackinglackshortage

補充說明: short / shortly

shortly 與 short 看似一組,意思卻不同。shortly 為時間副詞,指「不久之後」,shortly after the announcement 為「公告後不久」,The meeting will begin shortly 為「會議即將開始」。shortly 與長度無關,通常不用來表示「簡短地」,要說「簡短地」用 briefly。short 作副詞時指「突然停下或達不到」,stop short 為「突然停住」,fall short 為「未達標準」。判斷方式為:講「不久之後」用 shortly,講「突然停住或達不到」用 short。
