- 1aB2/ɪɡˈzɒːstɪŋ/ · /ɪɡˈzɔːstɪŋ/累人的；令人筋疲力盡的
Making you feel extremely tired. An exhausting day, job, or journey uses up nearly all of your energy, either in your body or in your mind.
示範例句 · Example
It had been an exhausting day, so Mei fell asleep before the film ended.
逐字那已經是很累人的一天，所以美在電影結束之前就睡著了。
exhausting 講的是「那件事本身很耗人」，主詞是一天、一份工作、一段路程或一場練習，不是人的感覺。它比 tiring 更強：tiring 是「做完想休息」，exhausting 是「力氣幾乎被用光」。可以想成 exhaust 這個字在別的地方就是「把東西用光」（exhaust the supplies 用光補給），所以 exhausting 就像把你身上的油箱抽空。而且不一定要動到身體——整天高度專注、一直動腦，英文一樣說 mentally exhausting。
