覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
atrociously は atrocious の副詞形なので、まず形容詞 atrocious を核にして覚えると定着しやすい。badly よりかなり強く、単なる「悪く」ではなく「目を覆いたくなるほどひどく」という温度感。atrocity（残虐行為）と同じ語幹だと押さえると、質の悪さにも残酷さにもつながる。an atrocious mistake, atrociously expensive, behave atrociously のように、失敗・値段・態度を強く非難する場面でまとめて覚えると使い分けしやすい。
Build it from `atrocious` plus `-ly`. It is much stronger than `badly`, so connect it with very harsh criticism. It also links well with `atrocity`, which helps you remember the strong, ugly feeling of the word.
