【副詞是人生B面第一首】之2：副詞要砍還是要留

所以...副詞該砍還是該留呢？

【副詞該砍！】

"I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs, and I will shout it from the rooftops."
-Stephen King

"If you see an adverb, kill it."
-Mark Twain

為什麼副詞該砍？

1. 這個副詞能換成更精準的動詞嗎？？

I quickly ran to the door.
→I sprinted to the door.

2. 這個副詞能用其他動詞營造氛圍？

She carefully lifted the curtain.
→She lifted the curtain and peeked out the window, not wanting to be seen.

3. 是廢話嗎？

I quickly ran to the door.
→I ran to the door.

【副詞該留！】

"I adore adverbs; they are the only qualifications I really much respect."
-Henry James

"The miracle is the adverbs, the way things are done."
-Daniel Handler

為什麼副詞該留？

1. 加入副詞將改變動詞的原意
May works diligently all the year.

2. 副詞讓傳達了多一層意義
The plane landed successfully.
