Often used to describe fortunate or life-saving outcomes that seem beyond normal explanation. Can function as a sentence adverb modifying an entire clause — for example, 'Miraculously, the plane landed safely.' Reserve it for events that feel almost impossible, not merely convenient.

常見錯誤

❌I miraculously found a parking spot.' (routine event)
✅I miraculously found a parking spot right in front of the theater during the New Year parade.
💡Use 'miraculously' only when the outcome seems almost impossible, not just slightly convenient.
❌She miraculously got a B on the test.' (good but not astonishing)
✅She miraculously passed the final exam despite missing half the classes.
💡The word should convey a sense of wonder or disbelief.
