请教：high和highly作副词时含义和用法的区别

kittycd

有一种说法是
high表示具体概念
highly表示抽象概念
但是到底怎样算具体，怎样算抽象，还是不太理解
希望能有明确而概括的解释，谢谢！

he jumps very high..这个高是不是很具体呀

this restaurant is highly recommended on Lonely Planet...这个高你觉得可以衡量吗～

8.During an era when interracial tensions in the United States have run high, Rosa Parks became a quiet, unassuming symbol of the continued struggle for human dignity.

(A) have run high

(B)ran high
(C) had run highly

(D) run high
(E) were running highly
其实是被这道题弄糊涂了，我知道E的时态不好，但如果单就high和highly的用法而言，这道题为什么用high而不用highly呢？

这里用high的话修饰tensions，highly修饰running。。

形容词修饰名词，副词修饰动词和形容词。。所以这里的话说这个tensions用high修饰比较好。。

个人愚见。。我再去搜搜这题的讨论。。

run high：BE STRONG, be fervent, be passionate, be intense.

e.g： feelings were running high

刚搜到的 说是固定搭配

明白了！谢谢！
