问题描述:

News of their father came through ,at first telling them he was dangerously ill ,but then saying he was slowly getting better.
dangerously 是副词,帮我分析一下was dangerously ill.

ill(生病的adj.) 是形容词,dangerously(危急地adv.),是副词,修饰形容词ill,was dangerously ill (病得很严重的).
整句翻译:关于他们父亲的消息传来了,一开始他们得知他病危了,但然后他们又得知他(的情况)正在好转.
