1640年代,“充满遗憾的”,来自 regret(名词)+ -ful。 Regretfully(1680年代)正确地意味着“带着遗憾”,但自至少1965年以来,常常被错误地用来代替 regrettably “令人遗憾的是; 值得遗憾的”。“一个令人遗憾的用法,可能是在 HOPEFULLY adv.2 之后”[OED,带有一点咸味]。或者,用另一种说法:
regretful means feeling or manifesting regret, not causing it ; the latter sense belongs to regrettable. [Fowler]
regretful 意味着感到或表现出遗憾,而不是引起遗憾; 后者的意义属于 regrettable。[福勒]
