    逐字我們的老師對我們多快完成那個拼圖感到驚訝。

    amazed 講的是「人被嚇到、驚訝得幾乎不敢相信」的那種感覺。可以想成英文的「驚訝」是一條線：surprised 是「沒想到」，amazed 再往上一格，是「哇，真的假的？」，通常用在好事或很難相信的事上。常見接法有三種：amazed at／by + 名詞、amazed that + 一句話、amazed to see／hear／find + 動作，而且最常放在 be、look、feel 後面（She was amazed／He looked amazed）。

core核心畫面

The face you make when something is so far past what you expected that you stop for a second and can hardly take it in — usually because it is wonderfully good, or because it sounds too strange to be true.

可以想成事情遠遠超出你原本的預期，超到你會愣一下、一時吸收不了的那個表情。它比 surprised 更強，也更帶著「哇」的味道：surprised 只是「沒想到」，可以是好事也可以是壞事；amazed 通常是因為東西好得出乎意料，或是聽起來太離奇、難以置信。重點在那個落差——你腦中原本的預期，和眼前實際發生的事，差得太遠。
