1. 1氣勢、令人印象深刻之處

    Impressiveness is the quality of being impressive — the wow that a thing has, turned into a noun.

    Impressiveness這個字 is就是 the quality of being impressive「令人印象深刻」這個特質, — the wow也就是那種wow感 that a thing has一個東西具備的, turned into a noun被變成了名詞。

    We talk about the impressiveness of a view, a building, a performance, a score.

    We我們 talk about會說 the impressiveness of一樣東西的impressiveness a view一片景色的, a building一棟建築的, a performance一場表演的, a score一個成績的。

    It is a fairly formal noun; in everyday talk people more often say “how impressive it is”, or they name the thing: the size, the skill. You will see impressiveness in reviews and careful descriptions. It is not a common spoken word.

    It它 is a fairly formal noun是個相當正式的名詞; in everyday talk在日常對話裡 people人 more often say常說 “how impressive it is”「這有多impressive」, or或 they name the thing直接講那個東西本身: the size大小, the skill技巧。You你 will see impressiveness會在 in reviews評論裡 and還有 careful descriptions仔細的描述裡看到impressiveness。It它 is not a common spoken word不是常見的口語詞。

    Though actually, impressiveness can be a little cold: it names the effect, not the feeling. “The impressiveness of the ceremony” tells you it was grand; it does not tell you if anyone was moved.

    Though actually不過其實, impressiveness可以 can be a little cold有點冷: it它 names the effect講的是效果, not the feeling不是感受。“The impressiveness of the ceremony”「典禮的impressiveness」 tells you告訴你 it was grand場面很盛大, it它 does not tell you但不會告訴你 if anyone was moved有沒有人被感動。

    Size, skill, and importance can all give impressiveness, so the word stays general — you may need a second sentence to say which kind.

    Size大小, skill技巧, and還有 importance重要性 can all give impressiveness都能帶來impressiveness, so所以 the word stays general這個詞維持得很籠統 — you你 may need a second sentence可能需要再補一句 to say which kind說明是哪一種。
