    「exciting」形容「讓你興奮起來」的人事物——心跳加快、覺得有趣、精神都來了。注意 exciting 是「東西讓人興奮」(The game is exciting),excited 是「人覺得興奮」(I am excited)。可以想成 -ing 形容詞在說「它給你什麼感覺」。

core核心畫面

Picture the second just before something big happens: the lights go down, the ball is still in the air, the envelope is about to be opened. Your heart beats faster, you lean forward, you cannot look away. 'Exciting' points at the thing that does this to you, not at the person feeling it — it is the match, the news, the trip that stirs you up and makes you want to keep watching.

可以想成大事快要發生的前一秒:燈暗下來、球還在半空中、信封正要拆開。心跳變快、身體不自覺往前傾、眼睛捨不得移開。exciting 指的是「讓你變成這樣的那個東西」,不是那個有感覺的人——讓人心跳加速的是那場比賽、那則消息、那趟旅行;它把你的注意力抓住,讓你還想繼續看下去。
