suddenly (A2)
カタカナ: サデンリ
IPA: /ˈsʌd.ən.li/
Definition
'Suddenly' means something happened quickly and without warning. It is a very common word in storytelling and narrative: 'Suddenly, the lights went out.' 'All of a sudden' is a common informal equivalent: 'All of a sudden, she started crying.' 'Suddenly' usually comes at the beginning of a sentence or clause for dramatic effect, or before the verb: 'He suddenly stopped.' In Japanese, '突然' and '急に' are both used, but '突然' often matches the dramatic 'suddenly' while '急に' suggests 'quickly' as much as 'without warning'.
意味: 'suddenly'は何かが急に警告なしに起こったことを意味します。物語や語りで非常に一般的な言葉です：'Suddenly, the lights went out.'（突然、電気が消えた。）'All of a sudden'は一般的なインフォーマルな同義語です：'All of a sudden, she started crying.'（突然、彼女は泣き始めた。）'suddenly'は劇的効果のために文や節の始めに、または動詞の前に置かれます：'He suddenly stopped.'（彼は突然止まった。）日本語では'突然'と'急に'の両方が使われますが、'突然'はしばしば劇的な'suddenly'に対応し、'急に'は「警告なしに」と同様に「素早く」も意味します。
