first.ly
adv.(副词)In the first place; to begin with.第一;首先
There is ample reputable precedent for using bothfirst and firstly to begin an enumeration: 有许多规范的先例同时使用first 和 firstly 来开始列举: 例句:Our objectives are, first (or firstly ), to recover from last year`s slump. Our 0bjectives are, first(或 firstly ), to recover from last year`s slump
Whichever is chosen, however, consistency is best served if any succeeding items are introduced by a parallel form,as in first . . . second . . . third or firstly . . . secondly . . . thirdly. 不管选用了哪个词,如果后面还有并列列举的条目,要符合一致性原则,例如 first…second…third 或者用 firstly…secondly…thirdly
