发帖数: 8613 | 1 "Kindly" can be used as an adjective. It can be interchangeable with "kind".
Their subtle difference (to which few people would pay attention ==>
forget it!) between the two words is well explained in Webster third
international dictionary.
"A kindly reminder" is a common expression. "A friendly reminder" seems more
common.
Another example (from American Oxford Dictionary) is "kindly weather/climate
/condition".
"kindly skill" was also accepted. |

汉语中这个语境采用了“玉”的二级延伸，按照etymology的观点这是与extended mean
ing，是adjective，意思是尊贵华美的意思。而jade无论做名词还是形容词都跟“玉”
这个物体分不开，而玉兔的意思并不是“玉做的兔子”，而是“华美而高贵的兔子”，
就好比玉照，玉液，玉宇。难道玉照要翻译成jade photo？是不恰当的。 |
