用法筆記
Commonly used with verbs of acceptance, offering, helping, and giving (accept, offer, help, share, give, take). Frequently appears after the modal 'would' to make a polite offer or agreement. The fixed expression 'not suffer fools gladly', meaning to be unwilling to tolerate people you think are stupid, is a special idiom-bound usage of this adverb.
