2. The practice does not stem from a change in the meaning of literally itself—if it did, the word would long since have come to mean “virtually” or “figuratively”—but from a natural tendency to use the word as a general intensive meaning “without exaggeration, ”as in They had literally no help from the government on the project, where no contrast with the figurative sense of the words is intended.This looser use of the word literally does not usually create problems, but it can lead to an inadvertently comic effect when the word is used together with an idiomatic expression that has its source in a frozen figure of speech, such as in I literally died laughing. 这一用法并不根源于 literally 本身意义的演变——如果是这样的话, 这个词早就会有“几乎”或“比喻地”的意思——而是来源于把这个词用作一个一般的加强词表示“毫不夸张”这样一个自然趋势,正如在 事实上他们没有获得政府对这一计划的帮助 中, 并没有与句子的喻意形成任何对比。 literally 的这一不精确的用法通常并不会产生什么问题, 但当它与一个源于固定修饰的俗语连用时,会偶尔产生喜剧性效果,如 我真的笑死了
