这两个副词的意义非常接近：前者是作“尤其”讲，而后者则是“特别地”的意思。（注：前者就是后者的异体词）specially 多指为一特别目的而做；especially 侧重达到异常的程度I came specially to see you. 我特地来看你。The weather has been especially cold. 最近天气特别冷例如：There is a shortage of well qualified teachers of foreign languages，especially of French and Japanese．合格的外语教师颇感缺乏，尤其是教法语和日语的。I went there yesterday specially to see my uncle．我昨天去那边是特意去看我叔叔的。
