Actually 的意思是实际上或真的,不是目前或相关。可以用它纠正别人、说出意外的事实,或礼貌地表达不同意见:Actually, the meeting is on Tuesday.
actually:这次词义能选对吗?
写一句英语,检查词义是否符合内容并查看错误解释。
本次检查比平时稍久,完成后反馈会自动显示在这里。

- I thought the test would be hard, but it was actually quite easy.
- Actually, the train leaves at nine, not at ten.
- He looks strict, but he's actually very kind to new staff.
修改原因
修改前Is this price list still actual?
修改后Is this price list still up to date?
Actual 和 actually 与一些语言中表示目前的词很像,却不能照搬意思。Actual 表示真实的、确实存在的,actually 表示实际上。要问信息是否仍然有效,应说 up to date 或 current。
想表达目前或相关时,要按具体意思选词。与当前情况有关,用 relevant:relevant experience。信息是新的、现在仍有效,用 up to date 或 current:the current timetable。最近讨论很多的,用 topical:a topical issue。
动手练习
Anna's English is so good that people often think she's British, but she's ___ from Kazan.
查看答案
actually — 大家以为 Anna 是英国人,但她实际上来自 Kazan。纠正这种预期时用 actually。Currently 表示现在、目前,这里并不是在说她目前住在哪里。
写一种人们对你的城市或职业的常见误解。先说大家怎么想,再说明实际情况。
