这句英语这么写对不对!

When the word "nut" is used figuratively, it often stands for someone or something undesirable.
当被形容成"nut"时，通常代表某人或某事不怎么样。

2，如果一定说“nut”是个修辞方法，就要说in figurativeness，说明这是个语法现象。
3，如果用with figurativeness，有些故意说明是修辞似的，就好像我们在声明：我用修辞了啊！很少这么说。

看上下文用在哪儿吧，如果日常口语或行文，就用副词；如果在解释语法，用in figurativeness。

figuratively可以这样用的,而且是很常见的用法。
in figurativeness也是有这种说法的，不过用在这里不恰当,考虑到和use的搭配，be used in是用在**方面的意思，建议这里用with figurativeness.

例句：
1.That is the only word in the language that can never be
