bizarrely(副词):古怪地;离奇地;怪诞地,用来描述某事以不寻常、难以理解或不合常理的方式发生或呈现。
/bɪˈzɑːrli/

Bizarrely, the more he apologized, the angrier she became, as if the words had the opposite effect.
离奇的是,他越道歉,她反而越生气,仿佛那些话起了相反的作用。
bizarrely 来自形容词 bizarre(古怪的、怪诞的)加副词后缀 -ly(“以……方式”)。bizarre 通常认为经由法语进入英语,和“奇特、不同寻常”的含义相关;加上 -ly 后,表示“以古怪/离奇的方式”。
