喜樂美語

You can picture something set apart and lifted above ordinary life because it belongs to God — a temple, a relic, a sacred day. The core feeling is 'this is special, untouchable, to be treated with deep respect.'

可以想成有某樣東西被特別「劃出來」、抬高到日常之上，因為它屬於神——一座聖殿、一件聖物、一個節日。holy 的核心感覺是「這個很特別、不可隨便碰、要懷著敬意對待」。後面那些驚嘆、罵人的用法，都是借這份「神聖、了不得」的份量去誇張表達。
