    Mei is really enthusiastic about the school science fair.

    逐字美真的對學校科學展是熱情的。

    「enthusiastic」是英文裡「很感興趣、而且看得出來」的形容詞——不只心裡喜歡,說話、表情、動作都會露出熱度。最常見搭配是 enthusiastic about something / about doing something。跟 eager 容易搞混:eager 偏「很想快點做/快點知道」;enthusiastic 偏「對這件事本身充滿興趣」。跟 excited 比:excited 常指向「即將發生的事」,enthusiastic 也可以講長期的興趣或支持。核心畫面可以想成「興趣亮起來,別人看得見」。
