Question

subtly adv.敏锐地；巧妙地；精细地 (1) 他很巧妙地应付了一个尴尬局面。(2) 如今，下面的形式巧妙地改变了，尽管常人的眼睛无法看出其奥妙。 When you do something subtly, you do it quietly and indirectly — like subtly criticizing your mom's choice of beachwear. If you smile subtly, it's a small, mysterious, Mona Lisa-type smile rather than a wide, open one. There are two tricks to the word subtly: first, when you add the ly to the word subtle, the e gets dropped. Second, don't confuse subtly with subtlety, a noun meaning "the state of being subtle."
