难以置信
以非常流行的形容词“incredile”开头吧。Incredit有三个意思。它通常用于说明大小和规模上非常好的东西和伟大的东西。“晚会很有趣”。这是难以置信的消息说了。但是,这个词本身来源于“credility”。指某人可以相信的程度。因此,它真正意义的表达含义很强,难以置信,难以置信,难以置信,难以置信–或它表达的意思不是很强,更受群众欢迎–难以置信,很难实现。
奇怪的
“Wonderful”和“incredible”意思相似。从字面上看,这意味着“像奇迹一样”,可以说明让我们兴奋、惊讶的东西,也可以表现出我们的冲击。
不可思议的
“Marvellous”是“wonderful”的同义词,是“惊讶、惊讶、惊讶、出色的表演。显然,最后的定义可以用来描述神秘的体验。在语气较弱的状态下,“marvellous”只不过是“非常好或很开心”的意思。
关于超自然这个主题,让我们来看看“awesome”这个词吧。Awesome的意思是“充满敬畏”,“非常虔诚。可怕的奇妙,这是非常奇妙的混合特征,介于非常“坏”的事物和宗教或虔诚的事物之间。这可以用有关“sublime”的概念来说明。“sublime”是一个非常巨大、有潜在危险的经验,让我们想起这个世界上多么渺小、多么巨大的宇宙。
The word ‘fantastic’ is also one that come to mean ‘excellent, good beyond expectation’. This seems to be especially the case within professional contexts; imagine a shop assistant replying with ‘fantastic’ when you produce a loyalty card, for example. But the word actually means ‘pertaining to fantasy’: ‘existing only in imagination; proceeding merely from imagination; fabulous, imaginary, unreal; fanciful’.
“Fantastic”这个词也是“比预想的还要优秀”的意思。这在专业背景下尤其如此。比如说,制作忠诚卡的时候,可以想象店员说“太棒了”。但是,实际上这句话是“和幻想有关”的意思,“只存在于想象中。是从想象中产生的。不是传说中的、想象中的、真实的。想象中的,很少见。”。
‘Fantastic’ leads us straight to ‘fabulous’, a word in its weakened state, often used as a synonym for ‘terrific’ or ‘marvellous’ – especially when it’s shortened to ‘fab’. Actually, it refers to anything relating to a fable or story. This could include a ‘fabulous’ author or a reader of their works; the events or characters of a fable; or real-life events or people that seem as if they are straight out of a work of fiction. To judge something ‘fabulous’, therefore, does not necessarily mean it is good.
“Fantastic”这个词会让人直接想起“fabulous”这个词。“fabulous”的语气没有“fantastic”那么强烈,一般作为“terrific”和“marvellous”的同义词使用。特别是“fabulous”被简称为“fab”的情况。实际上是指与寓言有关的事情。这可能包括优秀的作者和他们的作品的读者。也可以是寓言的时间或人物。或者是从现实生活中的事情或者小说中出现的人物。因此,判定什么“无法相信”并不一定是好事。
棒极了
Another literary word that has strayed far from its original meaning is ‘epic’. The OED chiefly defines epic as ‘a poem, typically derived from ancient oral tradition, which celebrates in the form of a continuous narrative the achievements of one or more heroic characters; a book, film, or other creative work likened to an epic’. Think of the epics of Homer, the Iliad or the Odyssey. But ‘epic’ in its modern use tends to draw only on the grandeur of those classic poems, which were thousands of lines long, featured feats of superhuman endeavour, and had narratives that spanned a great many years. The dictionary records the weakened use of ‘epic’ as ‘particularly impressive or remarkable; excellent, outstanding’.
脱离另一个文学原意的词是“epic”。《牛津英语辞典》主要将“epic”定义为诗,来源于古代口述的传统,以持续的叙述形式庆祝一个以上英雄人物的成果。一本书、一部电影或其他创造性的作品被比喻为“epic”。让我们来思考一下哈马的史诗《伊利阿特》和《奥德赛》吧。但是在现代用法中,“epic”似乎只指那些经典诗歌的伟大之处,这些诗有几千行,记录了一些超人的壮举,登载了一千多年的故事。在《牛津英语辞典》中记载了“特别令人印象深刻、优秀、优秀”的意思,“epic”被弱化的用法。
棒极了
When we talk about a book or film we like, or about a friend’s examination scores, we might reach for the word ‘brilliant’. The OED records this kind of use as simple synonyms for the weakened ‘amazing’ or ‘fantastic’, and notes that the word ‘brilliant’ often relates to the intellect.
在谈论我们喜欢的电影、书、挚友的考试分数的时候,我们可能会使用“brilliant”这个词。根据《牛津英语辞典》,brilliant的这种使用方法作为“amazing”和“fantastic”的同义词登场,辞典中“brilliant”多指智能。
惊人
‘Amazing’ is a word we use a lot to mean ‘great beyond expectation’ or ‘wonderful’, but which also has a good deal of other meanings annexed to it. An ‘amazing’ thing can be one that causes distraction or consternation, or which tends to confuse us – again, it is not simply the case that ‘amazing’ means good or positive.
我们经常使用“amazing”来表示“比预想的更好”或“很棒”,但是“amazing本身还有很多其他的意思。”不可思议的是,“amazing”不仅意味着好的状况和积极的状况,也可能让我们感到困惑。
Lovely
And last, but not least, is ‘lovely’. It might be its own fault that ‘lovely’ is so frequently used, as it has an extremely broad field of signification. At its broadest, it relates to ‘love’ and ‘loveable’, and means ‘loving, kind, affectionate’, but also ‘loveable and attractive’, ‘beautiful’, ‘pleasing to the senses’. Its weakest use, in the terms of the dictionary, is when it is used to mean ‘excellent; delightful, pleasant, nice’.
最后,但是同样重要的是“lovely”。人们经常使用“lovely”。这也许是“lovely”本身的问题。因为“lovely”本身的意义很广。广义上来说,“lovely”和“爱”和“可爱”紧密相连,意味着“爱、善良、感情丰富”,意思是“可爱的魅力”、“漂亮”、“悦耳”。狭义上,根据字典的意思是“优秀、快乐、快乐、好”。
最后一点可能是最重要的。这个列表中的所有单词都可以表示“好还是伟大”。简单的事实是,我们把这么多单词总结成一个意思,用它们来表达判断。也就是说,有些东西是“好还是伟大”——这是我们尽可能多的寻找表达方式,互相传达积极的东西。
