Just trying to bring this up to someone =)
Many seems to be making mistakes in the usage of these 2 similar but different words.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/temporary
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/temporarily
The former is an adjective, the latter is an adverb.
From Oxford English Dictionary:
temporary: lasting or meant to last for a limited time; not permanent
eg.
-temporary employment 临时工作
-temporary bridge 临时桥
My sentence:
I was temporarily hired to help in building the temporary bridge.
我被暂时性地雇佣来帮助建筑那座临时桥。
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong =3
