英文释义

副词 adv.
  1. In a broken manner.
    — —Something I said, But faint and brokenly of former days, When in the paths of science and of hope, We walk'd, twin-hearted.—Then there came a peal Of vacant laughter from those bloated lips, And the swoll'n hand with trembling haste was stretch'd For friendship's grasp.
  2. with gaps between words so that normal flow or fluency is affected, as due to emotion; disjointedly.
    — It was a long time before he could steady his nerves to answer my questions, and then he answered perplexingly and brokenly.
