One way to picture extraordinary: draw a box around what usually happens, and this one sits outside it. That is all the word claims — outside the ordinary. Whether being outside is wonderful, strange, or just extra depends on what is in the box.
可以想成 extraordinary 是「在平常那個框框外面」:把日常會發生的事圈成一個框,這一個落在框外。這個字本身只講到這裡——至於框外是了不起、是奇怪,還是只是行政上多加的一場,要看框裡裝的是什麼。
