文法句型
verb + avidly
avidly + verb (modifying activity verbs of consumption or pursuit)
用法筆記
Strongly preferred with verbs of consuming information or pursuing interests (read, follow, watch, listen, collect, pursue). Sounds odd with verbs of action like 'run' or 'fight' — use 'eagerly' or 'fiercely' there instead. Tends to describe a steady, ongoing appetite rather than a single burst of excitement.
