The plan will surely fail. — План наверняка провалится.

Surely he didn't say such a thing. Не мог он такое сказать;. We've surely met before. Но я уверен, что мы где-то с вами раньше встречались.

Для эмфатического выражения естественности каких-либо событий при данных обстоятельствах употребляется naturally, а не surely или certainly: He refused the invitation and naturally they were upset. Он отказался от приглашения, и они, естественно, были огорчены. (2.) See certainly, adv; USAGE (1.), (2.). (3.) See definitely, adv -
