- 1aB2/əˈstɑːnɪʃt/ · /əˈstɒnɪʃt/非常驚訝的;大吃一驚
Very surprised about something, because it is not at all what you expected, or because it is much more than you thought was possible.
示範例句 · Example
We were astonished to find the old stone bridge still standing after so many years.
逐字我們很驚訝地發現那座老石橋在這麼多年之後仍然站著。
astonished 是「驚訝」這條線上比較強的一個:surprised 只是「沒想到」,astonished 是「這怎麼可能」,強到中文常常要配一個「竟然、居然」才翻得出來。可以想成一件事大到把人整個定在那一秒——眼睛睜大、話一時說不出來。三個常見句型:astonished to see/find/hear(一看到、一聽到就被驚到)、astonished by/at(後面放讓你驚訝的那個東西)、astonished that(後面接一整句話)。
