用法筆記
Frequently modifies verbs describing speech (admitted, whispered, confessed), facial expressions (smiled, glanced, looked), or furtive actions (hid, deleted, avoided). The adverb can appear either before or after the verb it modifies, with slightly different emphasis: before the verb ('guiltily admitted') stresses the manner of the action itself; after the verb ('smiled guiltily') emphasises the action first and adds the manner as a secondary quality.
