freely与deliberately的用法并没有太多交叉的地方:
一、freely 的用法
1. 不受限制地,自由地

Conversation flowed freely when the speaker invited discussion. 演讲人请大家讨论,于是人人畅所欲言。
2. 不受干扰地,通畅地,无阻地

3. 主动地,自愿地

4. 慷慨地,大方地

5. 根据大意地,非逐字逐句地
Poems have to be translated quite freely. 诗歌只能根据意思来灵活翻译。
6. 公开地,坦率地

二、deliberately 的用法
主要用法:故意地,蓄意地。如:
