唯独

• ピンイン: wéi dú
• 漢字の分解: 唯 = only, solely (口 mouth + 隹 short-tailed bird); 独 = 犭(dog radical) + 蜀 (phonetic) — alone, solitary

意味

ただ〜だけ（例外として）

唯独 is more emphatic than 只 or 唯有. It always singles out one exception from a group where the opposite is true of all others: 大家都来了，唯独他没来 (everyone came; he alone did not). The contrast can be positive (唯独你理解我 = you alone understand me) or negative. Slightly formal but used across registers. Never describes a general condition — there must be an implicit or explicit contrast.

例文

1. 所有部门都按时提交了年度报告，唯独市场部迟迟没有动静。
2. 她走遍了欧洲许多城市，唯独对布拉格念念不忘，说那里有一种别处没有的气质。
3. 家里几个孩子对音乐都兴趣平平，唯独小女儿从小便展现出了惊人的音乐天赋。

避ける言い方

• 将唯独用于没有隐含对比的陈述 — 唯独 requires an implicit or explicit contrast (everyone else X, but this one Y); without that contrast, use 只有 or 仅仅

起源と歴史

Compound of 唯 (only, solely — classical particle) + 独 (alone, solitary — 犭 dog radical + 蜀 phonetic). Together they reinforce each other: 'solely and alone' — the one and only exception.
