especially vs. specially

especially vs. specially

辨析:两者都是副词,意思也同出一源。但在包括留学文书的日常使用中,前者往往用来引出一个特别的用途、方面或目的,类似于中文的“尤其是”。而后者则是一般意义上表示“特别、专门”。

例句:
In this way, long-term security, especially involving privacy, can be ensured for the near future.
The maids brought her fine leather shoes that had been specially made for her feet.
