Gallantly

Definition 定义

gallantly（副词）：英勇地；勇敢地；（也可指）殷勤而风度翩翩地。常用来形容在危险、困难或需要担当的情境中表现得勇敢得体。

He fought gallantly to protect his friend.
他为了保护朋友而英勇战斗。

Though badly outnumbered, the soldiers gallantly held their position until help arrived.
尽管人数处于劣势，士兵们仍英勇地坚守阵地，直到援军到来。

gallantly 来自形容词 gallant（勇敢的／风度翩翩的）加副词后缀 -ly。gallant 进入英语与中古法语有关，原本常与“勇武、骑士风范、礼貌殷勤”这些特质相连，因此 gallantly 也常带有“勇敢而体面”的语感。
