mutually 是副词,修饰动词、形容词或其他副词,通常置于所修饰词之前。常见句型:1)修饰动词:They mutually agreed to the terms.(他们相互同意了这些条款。)2)修饰形容词:The two goals are not mutually exclusive.(这两个目标并非互斥。)3)修饰副词:The parties are mutually deeply committed.(双方彼此深度承诺。)易错点:避免与 mutual 混淆,mutually 是副词,需修饰动词或形容词;而 mutual 是形容词,修饰名词。另外,mutually 通常用于正式语体,日常口语中更常用 each other。
mutually 语域偏正式,常见于学术、法律、商务等正式场合,口语中较少使用。无褒贬色彩,属于中性词。常见误用包括:1)与 mutual 混淆,如“They are mutual beneficial”应为“They are mutually beneficial”。2)用于单方面动作,如“He mutually respects her”错误,因为 respect 本身是双向的,但“mutually”强调双方,应说“They mutually respect each other”。3)过度使用,在简单双向关系中可用 each other 替代。
