De manera enérgica, rotunda e inequívoca; con un énfasis contundente que no deja lugar a dudas sobre la convicción del hablante.
力強く、断定的で、紛れもない形で;話者の確信について疑いの余地を残さない強い強調をもって。

Emphatically conveys not just certainty but the force with which that certainty is expressed. 'Emphatically agreed,' 'emphatically not,' 'emphatically rejected' — the word suggests that the speaker or writer is pressing the point with vigour. It is common in reporting speech acts: politicians speak emphatically, witnesses testify emphatically, critics respond emphatically. Unlike 'categorically,' which emphasises completeness, emphatically emphasises passion and conviction.

'emphatically'不仅传达确定性,还传达这种确定性被表达时的力度。'强烈赞同'、'断然不是'、'强烈拒绝'——该词暗示说话者或作者以充沛的精力来强调这一点。它常用于报道言语行为:政客强调性地发言,证人强调性地作证,批评者强调性地回应。与'categorically'(强调完整性)不同,'emphatically'强调的是激情和信念。
Emphatically transmite no solo certeza, sino la fuerza con que dicha certeza se expresa. «Enfáticamente de acuerdo», «enfáticamente no», «enfáticamente rechazado»: la palabra sugiere que el orador o escritor insiste en el punto con vigor. Es habitual para informar de actos de habla: los políticos hablan enfáticamente, los testigos declaran enfáticamente, los críticos responden enfáticamente. A diferencia de «categorically», que subraya la exhaustividad, emphatically destaca la pasión y la convicción.
「emphatically」は確実性だけでなく、その確実性が表現される際の力強さを伝える。「力強く同意した」「断じてそうではない」「力強く拒否した」——この語は、話者や書き手が精力的にその点を押し出していることを示唆する。発話行為の報道で頻出する。政治家は力強く語り、証人は力強く証言し、批評家は力強く応じる。完全性を強調する「categorically」とは異なり、emphaticallyは情熱と確信を強調する。
emphatically는 단순한 확신뿐 아니라 그 확신이 표현되는 힘을 전달한다. 'emphatically agreed(강력히 동의했다)', 'emphatically not(단연코 아니다)', 'emphatically rejected(단호히 거부했다)' 등에서 이 단어는 화자나 필자가 힘차게 요점을 강조하고 있음을 시사한다. 발화 행위를 보도할 때 흔히 쓰이며, 정치인이 emphatically 발언하고, 증인이 emphatically 증언하고, 비평가가 emphatically 반응한다. 완전성을 강조하는 'categorically'와 달리, emphatically는 열정과 확신을 강조한다.
