JPACT考试中表达“难以置信的”词汇短语（2）

　　JPACT词汇是整个JPACT考试的基础部分，但也是核心的部分，要想获得JPACT高分，积累不同充足的词汇是必须要掌握的，今天小编就为大家带来关于JPACT考试中表达不同的惊叹的词汇短语介绍，希望能够帮助大家，下面就和小编一起看看吧。

　　6.Fabulous

　　传说的，极好的

　　‘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’这个词直接让我们想到了‘fabulous’这个词，‘fabulous’的语气没有‘fantastic’强，通常用作‘terrific’或者‘marvellous’的同义词 – 尤其是当‘fabulous’被缩写成‘fab’的时候。事实上，它指的是任何与寓言故事有关的事情。这可能包括一个极好的作者或者他们作品的读者;可以是寓言的时间或者人物;或者是那些现实生活中的事件以及那些看起来像从小说里走出来的人物。因此，判定某事是‘难以置信的’不一定意味着这一定是好事。

　　7.Epic

　　优秀的，杰出的

　　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’.

　　另一个偏离其文学原意的词汇就是‘epic’。《牛津英语词典》主要把‘epic’定义为一首诗，它通常来源于古代的口述传统，以一种持续的叙述形式来庆祝一个或者多个英雄人物的成就。一本书，一部电影或者其他的创造性作品都可以被比作‘epic’。想想荷马的史诗，《伊利亚特》或者《奥德赛》。但是在现代的用法之中，‘epic’似乎只指那些经典诗歌的伟大之处，这些诗有数千行，记录了一些超人的壮举，承载了上千年的故事。《牛津英语词典》记录了‘epic’被弱化的用法，意为‘尤其令人印象深刻，优秀的，杰出的’。

　　8.Brilliant

　　极好的

　　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.

　　当谈论我们喜欢的电影，书籍或者是好朋友的考试分数时，我们可能都会用到‘brilliant’这个词。据《牛津英语词典》记录，brilliant的这种用法是作为‘amazing’或者‘fantastic’的同义词出现，此外词典中还说明‘brilliant’常指智力。

　　9.Amazing

　　令人惊讶的

　　‘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.

　　我们常常使用‘amazing’来表示‘好到超出预期’或者是‘极好的’，但是‘amazing本身还有许多其他含义。’‘不可思议的’东西可能会让我们分心或者惊愕，甚至会让我们感到困惑 – 再次强调，‘amazing’不仅仅意味着好的或者积极的情况。

　　10.Lovely

　　令人愉快的

　　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’.

　　最后一个，但是却同样重要的就是‘lovely’。人们经常使用‘lovely’。这可能是‘lovely’本身的问题，因为‘lovely’本身含义就很广泛。广义上来讲，‘lovely’与‘爱’或者‘可爱的’联系紧密，意为‘爱，善良，感情丰富的’，也意为‘可爱的有吸引力的’，‘漂亮的’，‘悦耳的’。狭义上来讲，据词典中记载，它指‘优秀的，快乐的，令人愉快的，好的’。

　　That last point is perhaps the most important one of all. All the words on this brief list can be used to mean ‘good or great’. There’s a simple truth to the fact that we have pulled so many words towards one point of meaning, the judgment that something is ‘good or great’ – it’s that we’re looking for as many ways as possible to say good things to each other.

　　最后一点也许是最重要的一点。这个列表里所有的单词都可以用来表示‘好或者伟大的’。有一个简单的事实是我们把这么多的单词都归结为一个意义，用它们来表示判断，即某物是‘好的或者伟大的’– 这是我们在寻找尽可能多的表达方法来向彼此传达积极的事物。
